Energy distribution using map data*
In addition to map data, the function also takes into account speed limits, traffic conditions and differences in altitude.
The electric motor is primarily used when driving at low speeds, for example during stop-and-go city driving. The gasoline engine is primarily used when driving at high speeds and can, under favorable conditions, generate electricity to the electric motor.
Requirements for the function
- A destination must be set in the navigation system and the distance to the destination must be longer than the possible range using only the electric motor.
- Hybrid drive mode must be selected.
- The Hold and Charge functions must be disabled.
Usage tips
If you commute and it is not possible to charge the vehicle at work, enter your workplace as a waypoint and your home as the destination. Discharging of the hybrid battery will then be distributed over the entire commute to and from work.
Add similar commutes, i.e. the route between two charges, as Favorites in the navigation system to facilitate access.
