The engaged selector lever position is displayed in theI D. display and on the driving mode selector when the ignition is switched on.
Selecting a selector lever position
Fig. 1 On the right side of the steering column: driving mode selector.
To change into gear from neutral position
, proceed as follows:
Switching strong recuperation
on
and off
To activate strong recuperation , carry out the following steps:
The driving mode selector always springs back.
Description of the selector lever positions
Permanent
position for driving forwards - the electric drivetrain is in the normal
program.
If ECO assistance is activated, recuperation will take place automatically (→ Eco assist) .
Powerful energy recuperation
when coasting (→ Energy recuperation) .
The electric
drivetrain is in neutral position. No power is transmitted to the wheels and the
braking effect of the
electric drivetrain is not available.
Reverse gear is selected. Only
select this gear when the vehicle is stationary.
The drive
gears are mechanically locked. Only switch on when the vehicle is stationary .
Driving on an incline
When driving on an incline, energy recuperation should be used where possible (→ Energy recuperation) .
Stopping and starting to drive uphill
Auto Hold should be used when stopping or starting uphill with the vehicle's drive system activated (→ Auto Hold) .
If you stop on a hill with a gear selected, always press the brake pedal or set the electronic parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. Only release the brake pedal when you are pulling away.
Crawling feature
If the brake pedal is released when a gear is engaged, the vehicle will start moving at a reduced speed. This allows the vehicle to be started through gentle braking more slowly and more precisely, e.g. when maneuvering. The set vehicle speed is dependent on the slope and the vehicle load.
If Auto Hold is switched on, you can only activate the crawling feature by pressing the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Engaging the incorrect gear can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
WARNING
Fast acceleration or switching off the ASR can cause traction loss and sliding on slippery roads, such as on wet, icy or dirty roads. This could cause loss of vehicle control, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
An unattended vehicle which is ready to drive may cause accidents and severe injuries.
NOTICE
Incorrect handling of the electric drivetrain can lead to increased wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
Electric
drivetrain overheated
The red warning light turns on.
The electric drivetrain has become overheated.
A corresponding message is shown in the ID. display.
Do not
continue driving!
Do not add engine coolant.
and
Brake energy recuperation not possible
The yellow indicator lights turn on.
Brake energy recuperation is malfunctioning.
This may limit your vehicle's range.
NOTICE
If you allow the vehicle to roll for a long time or at high speeds when the ignition is off, the electric drivetrain is switched off or the 12 V vehicle battery is discharged, the electric drivetrain will become damaged.
Only
maneuvering is still possible
The red warning light turns on.
A message is displayed in the instrument cluster and an acoustic warning sounds.
The temperature or the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low and the drive power is reduced.
Climate control convenience functions are restricted.
If the indicator light comes on while driving, the vehicle is about to have a breakdown in road traffic:
If the charge level of the high-voltage battery is very low, two emergency starts are still possible.
If the indicator light come on when the ignition is switched on, the vehicle can still be moved a short distance at approx. 7 km/h (approx. 4 mph):
When the power increases again, the indicator light turns off.
When driving in low outside temperatures, Volkswagen recommends activating the vehicle's climate control in advance, before departure. This also heats up the high-voltage battery and increases the driving power available.
Limited
driving power
The yellow indicator light turns on.
A message is displayed in the instrument cluster and an acoustic warning sounds.
The driving power is reduced considerably and could reduce further.
Climate control convenience functions are restricted.
In extremely cold or hot outside temperatures, the high-voltage battery is heated or cooled while driving. The driving power increases again after a short time.
Take note of the power display in the instrument cluster.
When the power increases again, the indicator light turns off.
Electronic engine sound impaired
The yellow indicator light comes on and an audible signal sounds.
A corresponding message is shown in the ID. display.
