"eBraking" MODE
(HIGH-VOLTAGE
BATTERY CHARGING)
The "eBraking" mode, which is always
active regardless of the selected operating
mode (heat engine or electric motor
operation), activates the high-voltage
battery charging when the brake pedal is
pressed, thereby recovering energy during
braking.
The electric motors work like alternators,
converting the kinetic energy of the car
into electrical energy.
Using this mode is particularly useful
when driving in the city, where there are
continuous stops and starts.
NOTE In order to make the most effi cient
use of the system, the braking phase
should, where possible, be modulated by
applying gradual pressure on the brake
pedal so as to allow maximum energy
recovery.
NOTE In the event of an emergency,
maximum braking effi ciency is always
guaranteed by the conventional braking
system.
