OPERATING
LIMITATIONS
With the car in "TURISMO" or
"TURTLE" mode, climate control
limitations are automatically introduced
to preserve the range.
In "TURISMO" mode, the climate
control system and the mirror and seat
heater are deactivated (but can be
manually reactivated, if necessary).
The "TURTLE" mode:
Range from 8 to 24 km: The heated
rear window, mirrors, windscreen and
seats are deactivated automatically
(but can be reactivated manually, if
necessary).
Range lower than 8 km: The climate
control system is deactivated, the fan
and quick defrosting may be activated.
The heated rear window, mirrors,
windscreen and seats are deactivated
automatically (but can be reactivated
manually, if necessary).
NOTE Some climate control system
functions may be unavailable in
“TURTLE” mode, in which case the
LEDs on the buttons of the climate
control system controls will flash.
IMPORTANT
4) The system uses R1234yf coolant,
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage. Under
no circumstances use R134a and R12
fluids, which are incompatible with the
components of the system.
