Driving in detail: eDRIVE
Safety notes
DANGER
The brake effect of the electric motor may be
stronger than the effect in a vehicle with inter‐
nal combustion engine. A sudden decrease in
speed can lead to a hindrance to other road
users. There is a risk of accident. Gently release
the accelerator pedal. Adapt your driving style
to the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic sit‐
uation and intervene actively if the situation
warrants it.
WARNING
When driving using electric power, pedestrians
and other road-users might not become aware
of the vehicle as they normally would due to the
lack of engine noise. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
Without energy recuperation, the braking effect
of the electric drivetrain is not available. The ve‐
hicle may roll further than usual. There is a risk
of accident. Adapt your driving style to the traf‐
fic conditions. Observe the traffic situation and
intervene actively if the situation warrants it.

Deceleration and energy recuperation
Deceleration
The intensity of the deceleration depends on the
selector lever position, energy recuperation set‐
ting and the driving situation.
Depending on the intensity of the deceleration,
the brake lights illuminate, without the brake
pedal being applied.
Powerful deceleration is achieved in selector
lever position B.
During deceleration, the energy is recuperated
and the high-voltage battery charged.
Reduced deceleration
WARNING
Without energy recuperation, the braking effect
of the electric drivetrain is not available. The ve‐
hicle may roll further than usual. There is a risk
of accident. Adapt your driving style to the traf‐
fic conditions. Observe the traffic situation and
intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
If there is a risk, for example, of locking wheels,
energy recuperation – and hence deceleration –
is reduced to prevent unstable driving conditions.
