Overrun mode

In overrun mode, the combustion engine is
switched off and is disconnected from the drive
train. The electric motor:
generates low thrust, which corresponds to
R
the overrun mode of an active combustion
engine
functions as an alternator, produces the nec-
R
essary energy for the auxiliary consumers and
charges the high-voltage battery
Overrun mode is available in the Comfort drive
program at speeds below 80 mph (130 km/h).
Route-based operating strategy
For the route-based operating strategy, the sys-
tem factors in information about the expected
route when route guidance is active.
The information on the route is provided by the
multimedia system and includes the following:
road types
R
speed limitations
R
The use of electric energy is automatically opti-
mally distributed from the beginning to the end
of the journey, using map data. The distribution
is pre-emptive and takes into consideration:
the sections of the journey ahead
R
the energy consumption on the whole route
R
The condition of charge of the high-voltage bat-
tery is thus systematically controlled. In addi-
tion, the control function takes into account
that:
the fuel savings through the use of electrical
R
energy can vary, depending on the route (e.g.
urban, interurban or highway)
the use of electrical energy is held available
R
for electric driving, particularly for urban
routes
The vehicle thus automatically selects the opti-
mum driving mode for the respective section of
the route.
The route-based operating strategy is available
under the following conditions:
the Individual drive program is selected
R
the ECO setting is selected under Drive in the
R
Individual drive program
the HYBRID operating mode is selected
R
active route guidance is activated
R
suitable map data is available
R
When the route-based operating strategy is
being used, the area in front of the vehicle is
shown as green in the multifunction display.
