Hybrid4 system
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
SPORT mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode
(4-wheel drive)
This mode allows more dynamic driving by
providing additional performance .
By using the capacity of the electric motor
to supplement the power of the HDi Diesel
engine, the vehicle's full power is used for
acceleration and pick-up.
This mode manages the response of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use
of the electric motor.
In SPORT mode:
- the electric motor as an addition is
available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This "4-wheel drive" mode provides additional
traction at low speed by driving all four wheels
of the vehicle simultaneously: the HDi Diesel
engine (front wheel drive) and the electric
motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously
and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically to
optimise traction when grip is poor.
In 4WD mode:
- the HDi Diesel engine operates
continuously; if necessary, it supplies
energy for the electric motor,
- the additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode should be used on snow
covered roads or difficult ground (mud,
sand, ...), as well as for crossing a ford,
at moderate speed.
In this mode, in severe conditions
and if the circumstances allow, it is
recommended that you accelerate
strongly to facilitate moving off and
making progress and so reduce the risk
of getting stuck.
This mode is available whatever:
- the state of charge of the high
voltage battery,
- the altitude.
