Starting, driving and stopping the vehicle
Operating principle
A
During recuperation, the drive converts most of the
B
kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored
C
in the high-voltage battery. There are two types of
recuperation - overrun recuperation and braking
D
recuperation:
E
– Overrun recuperation starts as soon as you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal and slows
F
down the vehicle. You can configure the overrun
G
recuperation strength.
– When you press the brakes, braking recupera-
H
tion increases the amount of recuperated energy
I
to a maximum. A higher braking request is then
achieved using the vehicle's wheel brakes.

Information
The deceleration effect of overrun recuperation can
be limited if the charge state of the high-voltage
battery is high, for example.
e Compensate for reduced overrun recuperation by
pressing the brake if necessary.
The overrun recuperation strength is displayed in
the power meter.
Selecting overrun recuperation level
e Press the recuperation button on the steering
wheel:
– Quick press = Switch overrun recuperation on
and off
– Press and hold = Switch automatic overrun
recuperation (Auto) on and off
– or –
e Drive e Recuperation (accelerator)
The selected setting is shown on the instrument
cluster.
Information
Automatic overrun recuperation is only available
when PSM is active. Automatic overrun recuperation
is not available in "PSM SPORT" mode.
Information
The various overrun recuperation settings are as-
signed to the drive modes, but can also be freely
selected by the driver.
Personalization is possible in the INDIVIDUAL drive
mode.
Driving in coasting mode
"Coasting" is the term used to describe driving
without the braking effect of overrun recuperation.
This function is designed to increase efficiency by
reducing power consumption. Coasting starts when
the accelerator pedal is released slowly and fully.
Coasting ends when the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
b b Driving in transmission range D.
b b PSM is active.
b b No major inclines or slopes.
b b Recuperation is switched off.
e Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
Information
Coasting mode is also possible in "SPORT" and
"SPORT PLUS" drive modes. The overrun recupera-
tion setting that is activated as standard for these
drive modes must be switched off when selecting
these modes.
Parking and leaving the vehicle
No power steering or
WARNING
brake force boosting
Power steering and brake force boosting are only
active when operational readiness is established. If
the vehicle is not ready for operation, a much greater
force will need to be applied during steering or
braking.
e Only switch off operational readiness when the
vehicle is at a standstill.
