Operation Manual

The braking performance of the electric
motor using recuperative braking is, in some
operating modes, either reduced or not effec-
tive:
R
when the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery increases
R
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a
normal operating temperature
R
when driving close to the maximum speed
R
when the vehicle is almost stationary
R
in transmission position N
R
during and after ESP stability control
If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-
erative braking effect by applying the brake
yourself.
Charge level display
Condition of charge display : shows the
condition of charge of the high-voltage bat-
tery.
The charge value is shown as a percentage in
the Energy FlowEnergy Flow menu in the instrument
cluster (Y page 187).

The Energy FlowEnergy Flow menu can also be dis-
played in the COMAND/Audio display.
The condition of charge of the high-voltage
battery has dropped into the reserve range if
the drive system is running and:

Charge the high-voltage battery from a con-
dition of charge of less than 20% at:
R
an electrical outlet
R
a charging station
The braking performance of the electric
motor using recuperative braking is, in some
operating modes, either reduced or not effec-
tive:
R
when the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery increases
R
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a
normal operating temperature
R
when the vehicle is almost stationary
R
in transmission position N
R
during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to
apply the brake yourself, the braking effect
may not be sufficient. If necessary, counter-
act the reduced regenerative braking effect
by applying the brake yourself.
