Reducing fuel consumption
Principle
The vehicle contains advanced technologies
for the reduction of consumption and emission
values.
There are some actions you can take to
change your fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact:
▷ Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehi-
cle.
▷ Remove add-on parts, e.g., a rear carrier,
after use.
▷ Close the windows and glass sunroof while
driving.
▷ Check the tire pressure regularly and in-
crease it as necessary.
▷ Switch off the engine if the vehicle is to re-
main stationary for a longer period.
▷ Practice anticipatory driving and let the ve-
hicle coast more often.
▷ Deactivate functions that are not required,
e.g., rear window heating.
▷ Have the vehicle serviced regularly.

Adaptive recuperation
Principle
The adaptive recuperation supports an antici-
patory and comfort-oriented driving style.
The system decides based on the situation if
energy is recovered through recuperation or if
the vehicle is to coast.
In vehicles with mild hybrid technology, the
power of recuperation is adaptive, which
causes the vehicle to decelerate to varying de-
grees when coasting.
General information
Various sensors analyze the current driving sit-
uation, e.g., the distance to the vehicle in front.
Adaptive recuperation is available depending
on the equipment and national-market version.
Activating/deactivating adaptive
recuperation
Adaptive recuperation is deactivated by acti-
vating SPORT driving mode.
Adaptive recuperation is activated when
changing to another driving mode.
Display
Display on the control display
The adaptive recuperation can be displayed on
the control display.
Additional information:
Current driving condition, refer to page 146.
