The energy generated during braking is stored in the high-volt-  
age battery during recuperation. A higher recuperation level also  
increases the braking force when the accelerator pedal is re-  
leased.

▶ Use the mode of the automatic transmission to decelerate.  
This will charge the high-voltage battery.  
Avoid full acceleration and too high speeds.  
Observe the prescribed tyre pressure » page 230.  
Remove unnecessary ballast.  
Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.  
Switch on electric consumers only for as long as necessary.

What you should be mindful of  
The higher the charging status of the high-voltage battery,  
the lower the power of the recuperation braking.  
WARNING  
The recuperation can also be done when pressing the brake  
pedal.  
When driving with a trailer, special care is required!  
NOTICE  
With frequent towing, the vehicle is excessively loaded so this  
must also be checked between service intervals.

WARNING  
Risk of an accident!  
Do not exceed the permissible trailer load.  
▶
For trailer operation, consider the current load condition of the  
vehicle as well as the distribution of the load in the trailer. The  
coupled trailer increases the rear axle load and can therefore  
reduce the payload.  
Adjust the headlight range of the headlights according to the  
load status of the vehicle. The front of the vehicle may lift up  
when a trailer is being towed and the headlights may dazzle  
other road users.

With gradients up to 12%.  
Reduce the speed by releasing the accelerator pedal as soon as  
a pendulum movement of the trailer is noticeable. Never at-  
tempt to stop the trailer from swaying by accelerating.  
If the traffic area behind the trailer can not be viewed, install  
additional exterior mirrors.  
Apply the brakes in good time. If the trailer is fitted with a trail-  
er brake, apply the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This  
will avoid brake jolts resulting from the trailer wheels locking.
