Things to remember when driving
Breaking-in period
above have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
General information
Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to
each other.
Using the hybrid system
efficiently
The following instructions will help achieve a
long vehicle life and good economy.
The concept
Engine and differential
Your vehicle's hybrid system runs automatically.
Through foresighted driving, the hybrid proper‐
ties are used to the full extent, i.e. fuel consump‐
tion and energy recovery are optimized.
Always obey the official speed limit.
Up to approx. 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Drive at varying engine and road speeds but do
not exceed:
Optimizing energy recovery
Types of energy recovery
▷
In gasoline engines, 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/
160
km/h.
Energy recovery is used to charge the high-volt‐
age battery. It is important for the supply of elec‐
trical components and thus a prerequisite for
fuel economy. It appears in three stages during
rolling and braking:
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the
transmission's kickdown mode for the initial
miles.
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Low energy recovery:
The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be
increased.
When coasting to a halt without
pressing the brake pedal.
Tires
Due to technical factors associated with their
manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac‐
tion potential until after an initial breaking-in pe‐
riod.
Average energy recovery:
During a slight deceleration by
gently pressing the brake pedal.
Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/
300
km.
Maximum energy recovery:
By pressing the brake pedal
harder.
Brake system
Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐
prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized
contact and wear patterns between brake pads
and rotors. Drive conservatively during this
breaking-in period.
Brake according to the situation
Brake in accordance with the traffic con‐
ditions, or there is the risk of accident.◀
Following part replacement
The same breaking in procedures should be ob‐
served if any of the components mentioned
