Increasing the range
DRIVING TIPS
Increasing the range
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before start‐
ing on a long trip.
General information
The vehicle contains comprehensive technolo‐
gies for reducing energy consumption and for
maximizing the range.
The range depends on a number of different fac‐
tors, refer to page 119.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐
sistance and thus raises energy consumption
and tire wear.
The implementation of certain measures, driving
style and regular maintenance can increasing the
range and thereby also reduce the environmental
impact.
Stationary climate control
Run advance climate control, refer to page 169,
in the vehicle during charging before driving off.
Remove unnecessary cargo
Heating and cooling operations are very energy
intensive and substantially reduce the electric
range.
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts
following use
Look well ahead when driving
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces fuel
consumption.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerody‐
namics and increase the energy consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle
driving ahead of you.
Close the windows
Longer braking procedures result in more effi‐
cient charging of the high-voltage battery via en‐
ergy recovery from braking.
Open windows increase air resistance and there‐
fore reduce the range.
Tires
Use coasting
General information
Tires can affect energy consumption in various
ways, for instance energy consumption can be
influenced by tire size.
When approaching a red light, take your foot off
the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt.
