While the navigation system or commuter route is active, additional
information about the route ahead can be included in the range calcula‐
tion.
RANGE WITH LOW CONSUMPTION

The maximum range shows the potential range when consumption is
low, e.g. as a result of economical driving or having the air conditioning
system turned off.
RANGE WITH HIGH CONSUMPTION

The minimum range shows the range when consumption is high, e.g. as
a result of a sporty driving style or having the air conditioning system
turned on.
R
This range is determined based on past and current consumption figures.
ELECTRIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION

The maximum operating energy output is available in normal operating mode.
IN THE FOLLOWING CASES, THE OPERATING ENERGY OUTPUT AVAILABLE
MAY DEVIATE FROM THE MAXIMUM VALUE:

When the outside temperatures are very high or low

Depending on the driving conditions in transmission position h or k
R
If the state of charge of the high-voltage battery is very low or the
high-voltage battery has aged to such an extent that it no longer allows
maximum output
Due to its basic characteristics, the storage capacity of and amount of energy
available from the high-voltage battery will decrease over the course of its life.
Both the maximum electric range that can be achieved by the vehicle and its
maximum electrical output may be impaired as a result.
The values displayed serve only as guidance. The operating energy output
value displayed may deviate from the actual value.
If the maximum power currently recoverable through recuperation is reached,
the deceleration otherwise caused by recuperation will be adjusted and
replaced by the electronic brake system. Also brake with the service brake
if necessary.
