Recuperative Brake System
If you release the accelerator pedal when the
vehicle is in motion, overrun recuperation is
initiated. The electric motor is operated as a
alternator when in overrun mode and when
you brake. Hybrid technology converts the
kinetic energy of the vehicle into electricity
and stores it in the high-voltage battery.
Observe the important safety notes for the
Recuperative Brake System (
Important safety notes
If the engine is switched off by the ECO start/

R
For further information, see (
All of the vehicle's systems remain active, if:
the vehicle is stationary
R
the combustion engine is switched off
R
the READY-indicator in the instrument clus-
R
ter is lit
If you remove your foot from the brake pedal
while in transmission position D or R, the
vehicle could pull away automatically.
Observe the notes on the READY display of
the ECO start/stop function (
Vehicles with an electric motor generate sig-
nificantly less noise than vehicles with inter-
nal combustion engines. As a result, your
vehicle may not be heard by other road users
in certain situations. This is the case, for
example, when you are parking and your vehi-
cle is not seen by other road users.
This requires you to adopt a particularly antic-
ipatory driving style, as it is necessary to allow
for the possibility that other road users may
behave unpredictably.
