C. Gearbox state indicator lamps (R, N, D/B)
Displays in the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on, the status of
the gearbox is displayed in the instrument panel:
P: park.
R: reverse.
N: neutral.
D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.
B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated.
In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not
indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed in
the instrument panel for a few seconds after
switching off the ignition.
Regenerative braking
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no
need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle
slows more quickly when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is released,
mechanical energy is recovered and used to
partially recharge the battery.
► While in modeD/B, pushing the pulse selector
backwards activates/deactivates the function.
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with
a B.
