Acoustic pedestrian protection
Depending on the national-market version, the
acoustic protection for pedestrians generates a
continuous driving noise.
▷ With a stationary vehicle and turned on drive-
ready state as soon as the selector lever po‐
sition P is exited.
▷ When driving up to 30 km/h/20 mph.
A loudspeaker system plays the noise outside
the vehicle.
As a result, other road users, for example pedes‐
trians or cyclists, can detect the vehicle better.
Energy recuperation: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery is charged when driving
by energy recuperation.
The electric motors act as alternators and con‐
vert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electri‐
cal energy.
The high-voltage battery can be charged while
driving in different situations:
▷ The accelerator pedal is only slightly de‐
pressed.
▷ The accelerator pedal not depressed.
▷ The pressure on the accelerator pedal is re‐
duced.
Display
The displays provide information about the drive
system's current status and illustrate how it is
being used.

Energy-saving driving and maximising
range
General
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite for
as large a range as possible. eDRIVE provides
various functions that assist with an energy-sav‐
ing driving style. The eDRIVE functions assist in
controlling the range and increase it, if neces‐
sary. The following descriptions provide an over‐
view of the functions available and the individual
measures that can be taken:
Before a journey
eDRIVE allows pre-conditioning of the vehicle
before start of a journey. The pre-conditioning
provides greater range than with complete air
conditioning while the vehicle is in motion.
Pre-temperature setting while charging ensures
that the maximum range is available at the start
of the journey.
For further information:
Pre-conditioning, see page 290.
Journey planning and special functions of
the navigation system
The navigation system offers special functions
which take the electric range into account when
planning a trip:
▷ Range map, displays the operating radius in
the navigation map, see integrated Owner's
Handbook.
▷ Charging station assistant under the Points of
Interest in the navigation system helps in
finding and, if necessary, scheduling a stop at
a public charging station along the desired
route, see integrated Owner's Handbook.
When driving
▷ "Efficient Mode": activate drive mode to in‐
crease the range.
My Modes, see page 144.
▷ Information on the expected range.
Range prediction, see page 154.
▷ Information on the current driving condition.
Displays in the Live Vehicle menu, driving
condition, see page 172.
▷ Follow notes to increase the range.
Increasing the range, see page 317.
