Increasing the range
Principle
The vehicle contains comprehensive technolo-
gies for reducing energy consumption and for
maximizing the range.
There are some actions you can take to in-
crease your range:
▷ Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehi-
cle.
▷ Remove add-on parts, e.g., a rear carrier,
after use.
▷ Close the windows while driving.
▷ Check the tire pressure regularly and in-
crease it as necessary.
▷ Use pre-conditioning before driving.
▷ Anticipatory driving and letting the vehicle
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 and how much the energy is recovered
through recuperation or if the vehicle coasts.
Depending on the strength of the recupera-
tion, the vehicle is decelerated differently while
coasting.
Setting the recuperation level
The recuperation level can be adjusted.
Additional information:
Driving in detail: eDRIVE, refer to page 131.
