necessary, the high-voltage battery is charged at
the same time.
The hybrid system always starts the combustion
engine automatically.
Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to page 128,
switches the combustion engine off while the ve‐
hicle is moving, when braking, when rolling to a
halt, and while the vehicle is stopped. The condi‐
tion of rolling with the combustion engine
switched off is referred to as coasting. Conven‐
ience functions such as the automatic climate
control are supplied by the high-voltage battery
and can remain switched on.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery of the hybrid system is
charged through energy recovery while driving.
The electric motor acts as a generator and con‐
verts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electri‐
cal energy, refer to page 131.
Charging the vehicle
The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can be
charged, refer to page 294, via the charging
socket at charging stations or household sock‐
ets.
Regular and complete charging of the high-volt‐
age battery reduces the fuel consumption by us‐
ing electric energy.
Climate control while parking
and charging
The hybrid system makes it possible to operate
the automatic climate control prior to driving off
and with the combustion engine switched off.
During vehicle charging or if the high-voltage
battery is sufficiently charged, the car's interior
can be can be cooled or heated in advance of
the trip, refer to page 259.
The stationary climate control, refer to
page 257, can also be switched on directly.
