Optimum energy recovery
High temperatures are generated in the exhaust
system.
As soon as the display shows the maximum en‐
ergy recovery, only press the brake pedal harder
if required by the situation.
Do not remove the heat shields installed and
never apply undercoating to them. When driv‐
ing, standing at idle and while parking, take care
to avoid possible contact between the hot ex‐
haust system and any highly flammable materi‐
als such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact
could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of serious
personal injury as well as property damage.
