switched off in this mode. Gentle start-ups (getting the vehicle going) and parking are also phases the electrical motor can often handle alone. The combustion engine is started if you accelerate faster or if the charge level of the high-voltage battery gets too low. As soon as allowed by your acceleration and the high-voltage battery charge level, the vehicle switches back to electrical motor drive. Use the following indicators to tell when the vehicle is being powered electrically: x Instrument cluster display. x Infotainment System screen. Extended electro-mode drive (EÊMODE) By pressing the %-/$% button ⇒ fig. 123, the driver can extend the normal limits of electrical motor drive so that the electric motor powers the vehicle whenever possible (given the battery charge level and the way you are driving). In this mode, the vehicle is propelled by the electric motor as much as possible. Extended electro-mode drive can be activated only if all of the following conditions apply: x The high-voltage battery must have an adequate charge. x The transmission must not be in Spor(St ) or Tiptronic mode. x The speed must be below 45 mph (70 km/h). If extended electro-mode drive is not possible, a message appears in the instrument cluster display. The activation of the extended electro-mode drive will be indicated by the symbol in the instrument cluster display. EÊMODE The combustion engine starts and interrupts extended electro-mode drive if the first condition changes or the driver accelerates too heavily. The symbol in the instrument cluster changes EÊMODE from the large (activated) display to a smaller (standby) display. Extended electro-mode drive resumes automatically as soon as all of the conditions listed above apply again. The symbol in the EÊMODE instrument cluster changes back to the larger display to indicate that the extended electro-mode drive is active. Extended electro-mode drive is deactivated if any of the following conditions apply: x Ignition is switched off. x %-/$% button is pushed a second time. x Transmission is in Sport Drive(S ). x Transmission is in Tiptronic mode. x Speed is greater than about 45 mph (70 km/h). To reactivate, press the %-/$% button again. Electric power level display (E-Powermeter) The electric power level is shown in the Instrument cluster display ⇒ fig. 124 (arrow). When the power level display reaches the maximum, the vehicle automatically switches to the combustion engine. By accelerating gently it is possible to drive the vehicle using electric energy only. The power level display only appears when the vehicle is being driven with the electric motor. In all other driving modes, the power level display is deactivated so that the bar is not shown. Start-Stop mode The combustion engine is operated only as needed. When the vehicle is stopped the combustion engine is normally off. The vehicle electrical systems are supplied with power from the high-voltage battery. The instrument cluster powermeter shows zero. This dependant on vehicle conditions feature of the hybrid drive system is normal and is designed to save fuel. The power steering, braking assistance, and air conditioning systems remain active. In certain situations it may be necessary for the system to start the combustion engine even when the vehicle is not moving. With prolonged driving in traffic jams, the combustion engine will be switched on and off to charge the high-voltage battery for the following start-stop phase.
