The Hybrid vehicle system uses an
electricmotortoimprovetheperfor
manceofthecombustionengine(ac
celeration, starting, etc.).
The vehicle has more acceleration
torque available while consuming less
fuel.
Thevehiclemayalsomoveinallelec
tricoperatingmodewithoutanyassis
tance from the combustion engine. The
vehicle uses energy stored in the "230
V" traction battery.
Batteries
The Hybrid vehicle is equipped with
two types of battery:
– a "230 V" traction battery;
– a secondary "12 V" battery.
"230 volt" traction battery
This battery, located underneath the
rear floor, stores the energy required
fortheelectricmotortooperatecor
rectly.
As with any battery, it discharges when
it is used. The traction battery is
charged:
– duringthevehicledecelerationphas
es;
– when the combustion engine starts
automaticallyinordertoactasagen
erator.
Your vehicle range in electric operating
mode depends on the charge level of
the traction battery, and also on your
drivingstyleandthecomponentscon
sumingenergy(airconditioning,heat
ing system etc.).
Intheeventoftractionbatterydis
charge, the combustion engine alone
moves the vehicle until the traction
battery is sufficiently recharged.
If your vehicle is parked for a long
time,starttheengineatregularinter
vals (about once a month) and check
that the warninglightisdis
played in blue on the instrument panel.
If this happens, the battery needs to be
recharged: leave the engine on until
the warning light is displayed in blue
🡺108.
Failure to do so may result in damage
tothetractionbatteryandmakeitim
possible to start the vehicle.
Secondary "12 V" battery
The secondary "12 V" battery, located
in the luggage compartment, supplies
the energy required to open/close the
vehicle and to operate the equipment.
Note: the secondary "12 Volts" battery
does not participate when the engine
isstarted.ThisisprovidedbytheHy
brid system.
TheHybridvehicleelec
tricsystemusesapproxi
mately 230 V DC (direct
current).
This system can get hot during
and after switching off the ignition.
Respect warning messages given
on the labels in the vehicle.
All operations on or modifications
to the "230 V" electrical system
(components, cables, connectors,
tractionbattery)arestrictlypro
hibited due to the risks they
presenttoyoursafety.Callanap
proved dealer.
The risk of serious burns or
electric shocks can lead to
death.
