Engine braking and energy recovery
The vehicle is tted with an energy
recovery system which operates during
deceleration: regenerative braking.
This system of engine braking consists of
recovering part of the energy generated
during deceleration and feeding it back to
the traction battery in order to improve the
vehicle's driving range.
When the traction battery is fully charged
and during the rst few miles/kilometres of
a journey, the regenerative braking does not
operate.
Adapt your driving style and use the brake
pedal.
Engine braking and brake pedal
The engine braking can never replace
the brake pedal.
When driving downhill, it is essential not to
exceed the maximum speed of the vehicle
and to voluntarily limit its speed by using the
brake pedal.
In order to protect the drive chain, a
slight decrease in performance may be
observed at low temperatures or during
prolonged use of maximum power.
