You can drive on electric power alone up to a speed of about 130 km/h.
Hybrid modes
The electric motor and the combustion engine work together efficiently in all hybrid modes.
Hybrid1): High-voltage battery power is used whenever possible when this mode is selected. This mode is particularly suitable for long journeys.
Battery Hold1): The charge level of the high-voltage battery is preserved as much as possible.
Note
- Applies to Battery Hold: The charge level of the high-voltage battery may drop, depending on how the vehicle is driven.
- Battery Hold mode is automatically selected if you move the selector lever to position S in EV mode. You can switch back to EV mode by pressing the
button link►
.
- If the
button link►
is pressed when the selector lever is in position S, the gearbox automatically selects the standard drive mode (D).
- The heating output of the vehicle is reduced at temperatures below approx. –10 °C when the vehicle is being driven using electric power. This allows greater ranges to be achieved. If the windows steam up or if additional heating output is required, please select another hybrid mode.
