Vehicle equipment
Adaptive recuperation
This chapter describes equipment, systems
and functions which are offered or may be of-
fered in future on a model-specific basis, even
if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-
tion.
Principle
Adaptive recuperation supports an anticipatory
and comfort-oriented driving style.
Map data and various sensors analyse the cur-
rent driving situation, for example the distance
to the vehicle in front.
For further information:
Vehicle equipment, see page 8.
General
Adaptive recuperation is available depending
on vehicle equipment and national-market ver-
sion.
Reducing fuel consumption
Principle
Based on the situation, the system decides
whether energy is recovered through recupera-
tion, or how the vehicle rolls.
The vehicle has a wide range of technologies
for reducing consumption and emissions.
Some measures can influence fuel consump-
tion and environmental pollution:
In vehicles with mild hybrid technology, the
power of recuperation is adaptive, which cau-
ses the vehicle to decelerate at different rates
while coasting.

Remove unnecessary loads from the vehi-
cle.
Remove add-on parts after use, for exam-
ple a rear carrier.
Activating/deactivating adaptive
recuperation
Adaptive recuperation is deactivated by acti-
vating SPORT drive mode.
Close the windows and the electric glass
sunroof while driving.
Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly
and increase if necessary.
When changing to another drive mode, adap-
tive recuperation is activated.
Switch off the engine if stopping for a lon-
ger period.
Display
Use anticipatory driving and let the vehicle
roll more often, for example.
Display in the instrument cluster
Adaptive recuperation can be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
Deactivate functions that are not required,
for example rear window heating.
Have the vehicle serviced regularly.

Power display, see page 168.

Operating requirements
▷
▷
▷
▷
Selector lever position D is engaged.
Brake is not depressed.
For further information:
Accelerator pedal is not operated.
Current driving condition, see page 175.
System detects a calm and smooth driving
style.
▷
▷
Engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.
Coasting
The system does not detect any obstructive
traffic situations or routes.
Principle
The drivetrain allows efficient coasting in the
D selector lever position with minimal deceler-
ation. This drive state is called coasting. This
reduces fuel consumption.
The function is available in the speed range
from approx. 25 km/h, 16 mph to 160 km/h,
100 mph.
Vehicles with mild hybrid technology do not
consume fuel while coasting.
Operation via shift paddles
Principle
General
Depending on the equipment, the coasting
drive state can be controlled via the shift pad-
dles.
An anticipatory driving style helps to use the
function frequently and supports the consump-
tion-reducing effect of coasting.
Coasting is automatically adapted to the driv-
ing situation in question.
Activating/deactivating coasting via
shift paddles
Operate the right-hand shift paddle for longer
to activate.
the coasting drive state is displayed in the Live
Vehicle menu as efficient coasting.
For further information:
Operate the left-hand shift paddle to deacti-
vate.
Current driving condition, see page 175.

Examples of driving situations
▷
▷
▷
In the case of navigation data that is inva-
lid, outdated or not available.
If a distance can be covered without foreseea-
ble braking, it is advantageous to roll this dis-
tance.
If there are country-dependent restrictions
on map-based route sections.
The following examples of driving situations
may be suitable for this:
With a temporary and variable speed limit,
such as at road works.
▷
Rolling on straight downhill gradient with
no obstacles.
▷
▷
▷
If Cruise Control is active.
▷
Rolling to a stop on a section of route with-
out obstacles.
If the sensors are faulty, soiled or covered.
Driving in the handling limit range or on
steep uphill or downhill gradients.
Avoid late or heavy braking.

Efficiency Coach
Principle
Principle
The engine is disconnected from the transmis-
sion in selector lever position D when certain
conditions are met. The vehicle rolls in idle
to optimise consumption. Selector lever posi-
tion D remains engaged.
The system provides assistance for a predic-
tive and comfort oriented driving style. For this
purpose, map information and sensor data is
used to analyse the current driving situation,
such as upcoming speed limits and vehicles
driving in front. Based on this information, the
driver receives notices for an efficient driving
style early on. The efficiency of the driving style
is evaluated in the control display and shown
in three categories.
The extended range that is achieved by adopt-
ing these tips is shown in the instrument clus-
ter as a bonus range.
Overview

General
The system has different displays to support
the driver with an efficient driving style.

Excessive speed.
Special route section, for example round-
about, ahead.
In addition, a deceleration notification is dis-
played.
System limits
For example, the function is not available in
the following situations:
The efficient range of the power display is col-
oured blue. Additionally, the bonus range will
be displayed.
▷
▷
If Cruise Control is active.
In trailer operation.
The efficient range is adjusted depending on
the driving situation.
If the power display moves within the blue
range, the current driving style is efficient. The
display will change to grey if the driving style is
inefficient.
Anticipatory driving style
Principle
The display informs the driver about deceler-
ations ahead, for example, speed limit reduc-
tions or roundabouts, even when they are not
yet visible. The situation-specific information
and distance to the route section ahead is
shown above the current speed limit in the in-
strument cluster. If there is a notice, the speed
can be reduced in an energy-saving way by
coasting using the corresponding accelerator
pedal position until the section of road is
reached.
Bonus range
It is possible to achieve a range
extension by adjusting the driv-
ing style.
The range extension is dis-
played as the bonus range in
the instrument cluster.
If the bonus range is shown in grey or hidden,
the current driving style is inefficient.
The display turns blue as soon as all the con-
ditions for consumption-optimised driving are
met.
Display in the instrument cluster
The intervals for resetting the bonus range de-
pend on the trip data settings.
Display inefficient driving style
When driving above the efficient range,
an arrow will be displayed.
For example, the display occurs in the
following situations:
A note regarding a section of the route ahead
is given as a recommendation to allow the ve-
hicle to roll.
