Converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle
R
into electric energy
In the Î drive program you can use the steer‐
ing wheel paddle shifters to manually adjust the
intensity of recuperation in overrun mode
( page 29).

System limits
The braking effect of the electric motor during
recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in the following situa‐
tions:
When the high-voltage battery charge level
R
increases
If the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor‐
R
mal operating temperature
When driving at speeds close to zero
R
In transmission position i
R
During and after ESP ® intervenes
R
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
the brake control system. Also brake with the
service brake if necessary.
Manually setting recuperative deceleration
In the Î drive program can use the steering
wheel gearshift paddles to manually adjust the
intensity of recuperation in overrun mode.
The higher the recuperation, the more sharply
the vehicle is braked when coasting and the
more electrical energy is fed into the high-volt‐
age battery.
% The standard setting (hÃ) is automati‐
cally set after a restart of the engine or after
re-engaging transmission position h.
To increase recuperation: briefly pull gear‐
#
shift paddle 1.
Driving and parking
To reduce recuperation: briefly pull gear‐
#
shift paddle 2.
Standard setting: pull and hold gearshift
#
paddle 1 or 2.
The following recuperation levels are available:
hà Radar-based recuperation taking
R
road and traffic conditions into account, or in
vehicles with integrated navigation system,
intelligent anticipatory recuperation with
ECO Assist (standard setting) (

hq No recuperation: the vehicle rolls

freely
h Normal recuperation

h± Increased recuperation: increased
R
deceleration in overrun mode, e.g. for driving
on downhill gradients
h±± Maximum recuperation: maximum
R
deceleration in overrun mode
