What do I need to know about the dierent E-Hybrid driving modes?
E-POWER Mode
The E-POWER driving program is activated by
default and allows driving purely on electric power.
Aer the ignition is switched o, the selected
driving mode automatically switches back to
E-POWER when the prerequisites for this driving
program are met. The electric range depends on
the driving style, the climatic conditions, and the
use of energy-intensive loads.
The availability of electric power is indicated
through this icon . This indicates you can
drive via the E-POWER mode.
HYBRID Mode
Three dierent operating modes, HYBRID AUTO, E-HOLD and E-CHARGE, are available in
the HYBRID driving mode:
• HYBRID AUTO mode: HYBRID AUTO mode is activated by default in switch position H.
It enables the most ecient operation of the vehicle to be predicted taking into
consideration route-specic data from the Navigation system and the current speed.
HYBRID AUTO mode is automatically activated as soon as the high-voltage battery
charge is too low for operation in the E-POWER driving program.
• E-HOLD mode: E-HOLD mode enables the currently available high-voltage battery
charge to be deliberately maintained so the vehicle can run purely on electric power
later on, for example. Boosting and restricted electric driving are still possible in this
driving program; however, this can result in uctuations in the charge.
Activating E-HOLD Mode: HYBRID > MODE > E-HOLD
E-CHARGE Mode
In E-CHARGE mode, the high-voltage battery can be charged while driving. This mode is
useful for specically increasing the electric range, particularly on journeys with a high level
of combustion engine driving. The high-voltage battery can be charged when driving on a
highway, for example, so that an urban route can then be driven using purely electric power.
Activating E-CHARGE Mode:
P
The high-voltage battery is not fully charged.
HYBRID > MODE > E-CHARGE
SPORT Mode
The combustion engine is always in operation in the SPORT driving program. The engine
and transmission also have a sporty tuning. The high-voltage battery is charged to a
minimum level to provide the boost function.
SPORT PLUS Mode
The combustion engine is always in operation in the SPORT PLUS driving program.
The engine and transmission also have the sportiest tuning possible. The high-voltage
battery is fully charged as quickly as possible to enable more frequent and longer boosting.
