▷ There are hybrid system faults.
Safety mode
The combustion engine does not start automat‐
ically in the following situations after an auto‐
matic engine stop:
▷ When the driver's door is open and neither
the brake nor accelerator pedal are de‐
pressed.
▷ When the hood is unlocked.
The indicator lamps come on. The combustion
engine can only be started via the Start/Stop
button.
Switching off the vehicle during an
automatic engine stop
During an automatic engine stop, the vehicle
can be switched off permanently, e.g., when
leaving it.
1. Press the Start/Stop button. The ignition is
switched off. The Auto Start/Stop function
is deactivated.
Transmission position P is engaged auto‐
matically.
2. Set the parking brake.

Electric driving: eDRIVE
Requirements
Electric driving is possible under the following
conditions:
▷ The speed does not exceed 35 mph, approx.
60 km/h.
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 579 - 03 12 490
Driving
▷ The high-voltage battery is sufficiently
charged.
▷ Transmission position D or R is engaged.
▷ The drive system is at operating tempera‐
ture.
▷ The accelerator pedal is only slightly de‐
pressed.
▷ The driver's door is closed.
In addition, the combustion engine is switched
off during braking even below 50 mph, approx.
80 km/h or when coasting below 35 mph, ap‐
prox. 60 km/h.
In ECO PRO mode, already when coasting be‐
low 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h.
Possible cruising range
Depending on the charge of the high-voltage
battery, the vehicle can generally be driven us‐
ing electric power up to 2 miles, approx. 3.5 km.
Driving with the combustion
engine: DRIVE
The combustion engine provides the drive
power to propel the vehicle. The high-voltage
battery is charged at the same time.
Automatic start while driving
The combustion engine is automatically started
under the following conditions while driving:
▷ Transmission position M/S is engaged.
▷ The speed does not exceed 35 mph, approx.
60 km/h.
▷ The high-voltage battery charge is insuffi‐
cient or it is fully charged, such as when driv‐
ing downhill.
▷ The required power output is increased,
such as due to the accelerator pedal position
or driving uphill.
