WARNING
A medium, intense or very intense recuper-
ation of brake energy can cause loss of
traction and the vehicle skidding, especial-
ly on slippery roads. This could cause loss
of control of the vehicle, accidents and se-
rious injury.
Never use a medium, intense or very in-
●
tense brake energy recuperation if the con-
ditions of visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic do not allow it, or if it endangers other
users on the road due to the acceleration
of the vehicle and the driving style.
WARNING
As the charge level of the high-voltage bat-
tery increases, the effect of the engine
brake caused by the recuperation of the
brake energy is reduced and may even be
completely cancelled out. This puts much
greater demand on the vehicle's brakes.
When charging the high-voltage battery
●
in high-altitude locations (e.g. on top of a
mountain pass), never fully charge it. In this
way, when descending the mountain the
Drive system and driving
engine braking effect through recuperation
will be enabled.
Slow down before starting a long dis-
●
tance with a steep descent.
During a long distance with a steep de-
●
scent, reduce the speed with the vehicle
brake.
