ELECTRIC MOTOR AND CHARGING
||
The electric motor cannot be used if the bat-
tery's temperature is too low or too high. If the
PURE drive mode is selected, the gasoline
engine will start.
Charging with fixed control module in
accordance with mode 3
In certain markets, the control module is
installed within a charging station connected
to an electrical outlet. In this case, the charg-
ing cable does not have its own control mod-
ule. You must therefore use the charging sta-
tion's charging cable and follow the instruc-
tions on the charging station.
Energy recovery during braking
Indicator in the instrument panel during energy
recovery.
1 European standard - EN 61851-1.
392
Energy is regenerated to the battery when the
brake pedal is depressed lightly or during
engine braking.
The function is available in all drive modes
together with gear selector position D or B.

Charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and precondition the vehicle. Charg-
ing is performed by connecting a charging
cable between the vehicle's charging socket
and a 120/240 V electrical socket (alternat-
ing current).
When the charging cable is activated, a mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument panel
and an indicator light in the vehicle's charging
socket will illuminate. Charging current is pri-
marily used for battery charging, but is also
used for preconditioning. The vehicle's start
battery is charged along with the hybrid bat-
tery.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
while charging is in progress – the
120/240 V outlet could be damaged in
such circumstances. Always interrupt
charging first and then disconnect the
charging cable – first from the vehicle's
charging socket and then from the
120/240 V outlet.
