Pure
Drive the car with electric motor, with
•
energy consumption as low as possible
and with lowest possible carbon dioxide
emissions.
The drive mode prioritises driving on the
hybrid battery. This means, for example, that
the ground clearance is lower 8
resistance and the output of certain climate
settings is reduced to provide the longest pos-
sible mileage range on electric power alone.
Pure
The mode is available when the hybrid
battery has a sufficiently high energy level. The
internal combustion engine also starts in the
Pure mode if the energy level in the battery
falls too low. The internal combustion engine
also starts
if the speed exceeds 125 km/h (78 mph)
•
if the driver requests more motive force

than electric drive can provide
in the event of system/component limita-

tions e.g. low outside temperature.
The drive mode is adapted for maximum range
with electric propulsion and especially devel-
oped for urban traffic. Pure means lowest
combustion even when the hybrid battery is
empty. The climate in the passenger compart-
ment is regulated to Eco climate, and in slip-
pery driving conditions, more wheel spin can

NOTE
When the
several parameters in the climate control
system's settings are changed, and several
electricity consumer functions are reduced.
Certain settings can be reset manually, but
full functionality is only regained by leaving
Pure drive mode or adapting
drive mode with full climate functionality.
In the event of difficulties due to misting,
press the button for max. defroster which has
normal functionality.
Off Road

STARTING AND DRIVING
The drive mode is only available at low speeds,
up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is
exceeded, Off Road mode is cancelled and
the Constant AWD drive mode is activated
instead.
To be able to drive all four wheels, the internal
combustion engine and electric motor run
continually, which results in increased fuel
consumption.
Off Road
In the mode the driver display has a
compass between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. The speedometer shows the range for
speed limitation.
