Vehicle features and options Adaptive recuperation
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems, and functions that are currently
available, or may become available in the fu-
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.
Principle
Adaptive recuperation supports an anticipatory
and comfort-oriented driving style.
The system decides based on the situation
if and how much the energy is recovered
through recuperation or if the vehicle coasts.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.
Depending on the strength of the recupera-
tion, the vehicle is decelerated differently while
coasting.
Increasing the range
Principle
General information
Various sensors analyze the current driving sit-
uation, e.g., the distance to the vehicle in front.
The vehicle contains comprehensive technolo-
gies for reducing energy consumption and for
maximizing the range.
Adaptive recuperation is available depending
on the equipment and national-market version.
There are some actions you can take to in-
crease your range:
▷
▷
▷
▷
Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehi-
cle.
Setting the recuperation level
The recuperation level can be adjusted.
Additional information:
Remove add-on parts, e.g., a rear carrier,
after use.
Driving in detail: eDRIVE, refer to page 132.
Close the windows and glass sunroof while
driving.
Display
Check the tire pressure regularly and in-
crease it as necessary.
Display in the instrument cluster
Adaptive recuperation can be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
▷
▷
Use pre-conditioning before driving.
Anticipatory driving and letting the vehicle
coast more often.
Additional information:
▷
▷
Deactivate functions that are not required,
e.g., rear window heating.
Power gauge, refer to page 154.
Have the vehicle serviced regularly.
Display on the control display
The adaptive recuperation can be displayed on
the control display.
Additional information:
Range, refer to page 155.
Additional information:
Current driving condition, refer to page 162.

DRIVING TIPS
Activating adaptive recuperation
Functional requirements
1.
Apps menu
▷
▷
▷
Selector lever position D is engaged.
2. "Vehicle"
Brake is not depressed.
3. "Driving settings"
Accelerator pedal is not operated.
4. "Drivetrain and chassis"
5. "Adaptive recuperation"
6. Select the desired setting.
System limits
Coasting cannot be used, or can only be used
to a limited extent, in the following situations:
▷
▷
While Active Cruise Control is active.
Sensors are defective, dirty, or covered.
Coasting
Principle
Efficient mode
The electric drivetrain makes it possible to roll
without consuming energy. This driving condi-
tion is referred to as coasting.
Principle
Efficient mode helps promote an efficient driv-
ing style.
General information
An anticipatory driving style helps the driver
to use the function often and supports the en-
ergy-saving effect of coasting.
In addition, the efficiency trainer displays situa-
tion dependent notes to assist with an energy-
saving driving style.
Coasting is automatically adapted to the re-
spective driving situation.
Overview
The coasting mode is displayed in the Live Ve-
hicle menu as efficient coasting.
Button in the vehicle
Additional information:
Current driving condition, refer to page 162.
Exemplary driving situations
If you can travel a certain distance without any
foreseeable need to brake, it is beneficial to
coast.
The following exemplary driving situations may
be suitable:
My Modes
▷
Rolling on a straight downhill route without
obstacles.
▷
Coasting on a distance without obstacles.
Avoid late or strong braking.

Press the button.
Depending on the equipment, some system
information can also be displayed in the Head-
up display.

The efficient range of the power gauge is col-
ored blue. Additionally, the bonus range will be
displayed.
Efficiency trainer
The efficient range is adjusted depending on
the driving situation.
Principle
If the power gauge moves within the blue
range, the current driving style is efficient. The
display will change to gray if the driving style is
inefficient.
The system provides assistance for an antici-
patory and comfort-oriented driving style. For
this purpose, map information and sensor data
is used to analyze the current driving situation
such as upcoming speed limits and vehicles
driving ahead. Based on this information, the
driver receives notices for an efficient driving
style early on. The efficiency of the driving style
is evaluated in the control display and shown
in three categories.
Bonus range
A modified driving style helps
you extend your driving range.
The range extension is dis-
played as the bonus range in
the instrument cluster.
General information
The system has different displays to support
the driver with an efficient driving style.
If the bonus range is shown in gray or is hid-
den, the current driving style is inefficient.
The display turns blue as soon as all condi-
tions for energy-saving driving are met.

DRIVING TIPS
The intervals for resetting the bonus range de-
pend on the settings of the trip data.
Display on the control display
The display of the efficiency analysis shows
the efficiency of the driving style.
Display in case of inefficient driving
style
The more efficient the driving style, the larger
the bars of the evaluation categories.
In contrast, a reduced area will be displayed
with an inefficient driving style.
When driving above the efficient range,
an arrow will be displayed.
For instance, this is displayed for the
following situations:
Max Range
▷
▷
Excessive acceleration.
Excessive speed.
Principle
Depending on the national-market version, the
Max Range mode enables the range to be in-
creased through the following measures:
In addition, a notice to coast in advance is dis-
played.
System limits
For example, the function is not available in
the following situations:
▷
The maximum speed is limited to
60 mph/90 km/h.
▷
▷
The drive power will be reduced.
▷
▷
While Active Cruise Control is active.
With trailer towing.
The comfort functions are restricted, e.g.,
air conditioning or seat heating are deacti-
vated.
With Max Range mode, the maximum range
can be increased by up to 20%.
