Fiat SCUDO - Regenerative Braking; Driving Modes (Electric)

146
Driving
N. Neutral
To move the vehicle with the ignition o󰀨 and
so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
D. Drive (automatic forward gear)
B. Brake (regenerative braking)
Regenerative braking (the button lights up to
indicate its activation).
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive
selector status is displayed on the instrument
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
B : Brake (regenerative braking activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards
(N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice,
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
For example, to change from P to R (with your
foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards
twice without passing the point of resistance or
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
The Brake 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.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle
does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
► From mode D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The status of the function is saved when the
ignition is switched o󰀨.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to tra󰀩c
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a di󰀨erent
sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:
► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel, and depending on version, on
the screen with Connect Nav.
