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.

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.

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.
