Reducing fuel consumption
Principle

for the reduction of consumption and emission
values.
There are some actions you can take to
change your fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact:
▷ Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehi-
cle.
▷ Remove add-on parts, e.g., a rear carrier,
after use.
▷ Close the windows and glass sunroof while
driving.
▷ Check the tire pressure regularly and in-
crease it as necessary.
▷ Switch off the engine if the vehicle is to re-
main stationary for a longer period.
▷ Practice anticipatory driving and let the ve-
hicle coast more often.
▷ Deactivate functions that are not required,
e.g., rear window heating.
▷ Have the vehicle serviced regularly.

Adaptive recuperation
Principle
The adaptive recuperation supports an antici-
patory and comfort-oriented driving style.
Various sensors analyze the current driving sit-
uation, e.g., the distance to the vehicle in front.
General information
Adaptive recuperation is available depending
on the equipment and national-market version.
The system decides based on the situation if
energy is recovered through recuperation or if
the vehicle is to coast.
The strength of recuperation is adaptive,
whereby the vehicle decelerates to varying de-
grees when coasting.
Activating/deactivating adaptive
recuperation
Adaptive recuperation is deactivated by acti-
vating SPORT driving mode.
Adaptive recuperation is activated when
changing to another driving mode.
Display
Display in the instrument cluster
Adaptive recuperation can be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
Additional information:
Power gauge, refer to page 149.
Display on the control display
The adaptive recuperation can be displayed on
the control display.
