Economical driving

Favourites
Drive economically and in a more eco-friendly
way by driving gently and anticipating situa-
tions.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the pre-
vailing situation.
To achieve the longest driving distance possi-
ble and lowest energy consumption possible
with Twin Engine, note the following:
Charge
Charge the car regularly from the mains
•
power circuit. Make it a habit to always
start a journey with fully-charged hybrid
battery.
Find out where the charging stations are
•
located.
If possible, select a parking space with a
•
charging station.
NOTE
Charge the car from the mains power cir-
cuit as often as possible!
Precondition
Precondition the car before driving if pos-
•
sible using the charging cable connected
to the mains power circuit.
Avoid parking the car in a way that the
•
interior cools down or overheats while
parking. Park the car in an acclimated
garage, for example.
During a short drive after preconditioning
•
of the passenger compartment, switch off
the ventilation fan or air conditioning in a
hot climate, if possible.
If preconditioning is not possible when it
•
is cold outside, use seat heating and steer-
ing wheel heating first of all. Avoid warm-
ing up the whole of the interior which
takes energy from the hybrid battery.
