Control System - SMART for two coupé Operator's Manual

No recuperation (level 0)
Symbol for no recuperation
:
When this mode is set, there is no recuper-
ation. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle rolls on unbraked.
Use this mode in situations when driving
without frequent braking, for example on
highways.
Moderate recuperation (level 1)
Moderate recuperation occurs when this
mode is set. When you release the acceler-
ator pedal, the vehicle is slightly braked.
Gained kinetic energy is converted into
electrical energy by the electric motor.
This energy is stored in the high-voltage
battery.
This mode is set as standard when starting
the drive system.
Use this mode in situations of well-bal-
anced relationship between accelerating
and braking, for example on cross-country
rides.
High recuperation (level 2)
Symbol for high recuperation
:
High recuperation occurs when this mode
is set. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle is deeply braked. Energy
conversion of kinetic energy to electrical
energy is most effective in this mode.
Use this mode in situations in which you
need to brake frequently, for example while
driving stop-and-go in city traffic.
Maximum available power
G WARNING
When the indicator for the maximum avail-
able power is not at its maximal range, the
power output is reduced noticeably. Adapt
your speed and driving accordingly. Oth-
erwise, you could cause an accident. Exer-
cise particular care when passing or accel-
erating.
The indicator for the maximum available
power of the drive system contains three
segments :. The number of dark segments
indicates power that is currently availa-
ble.
