Energy distribution using map
data*
In Hybrid drive mode, the vehicle is powered
by both the electric motor and the gasoline
engine. If a destination has been selected in
the navigation system*, the Predictive Effi-
8
ciency function can use map data to distrib-
ute electric power consumption throughout
the trip.
In addition to map data, the function also
takes into account speed limits, traffic condi-
tions and differences in altitude.
The electric motor is primarily used when driv-
ing at low speeds, for example during stop-
and-go city driving. The gasoline engine is pri-
marily used when driving at high speeds and
can, under favorable conditions, generate elec-
tricity to the electric motor.
Requirements for the function
Certain conditions must be met for the func-
tion to be possible:
A destination must be set in the navigation
•
system and the distance to the destination
must be longer than the possible range
using only the electric motor.
Hybrid drive mode must be selected.
•
The Hold and Charge functions must be
•
disabled.
8 Only certain markets.
Usage tips
If you commute and it is not possible to
charge the vehicle at work, enter your work-
place as a waypoint and your home as the
destination. Discharging of the hybrid battery
will then be distributed over the entire com-
mute to and from work.
Add similar commutes, i.e. the route between
two charges, as Favorites in the navigation
system to facilitate access.
