Engine and transmission
Efficiency program in the Driver’s
Information System (DIS) – provides
the driver with fuel-saving tips and
a gear-change indicator
Recuperation – increasing the generator
voltage converts kinetic energy into usable
electric power when the vehicle is coasting
or braking. This recuperated (brake) energy
is then used to assist the generator during
subsequent acceleration, giving a fuel saving
of up to 3%
Start-stop system – helps to reduce fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions by switching
off the engine in stationary phases e.g. at
traffic lights. The start process is initiated
as soon as the foot brake is released when
moving off again. Can be deactivated via
a button at any time
