On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy; the Stop & Start alternator-starter
stops and restarts the HDi Diesel engine automatically,
whatever the operating mode selected.
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the high voltage battery is
recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by
the rear wheels.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal; deceleration will be less marked than
with a conventional vehicle.
100% electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electric
motor drives the vehicle, via the rear wheels, powered by the
high voltage battery.
The display of " Zero Emission " indicates that the HDi Diesel
engine is stopped and the vehicle is producing no CO
