"eCoasting"mode
(ENERGY SAVING)
(Plug-in Hybrid version)
It is a mode that, when the accelerator
pedal is released, recovers energy during
the slowing down phase of the car.
The "eCoasting" mode, always active
regardless of the selected operating
mode (use of the heat engine or electric
motor), maximises energy recovery when
the accelerator and brake pedals are
released.
Driving in "eCoasting" mode is possible
if the automatic transmission lever is in
position "D" (Drive).
INTERVENTIONTYPE
SELECTION
You can select the type of intervention
of the "eCoasting" mode by pressing the
button fig. 268 located on the central
tunnel.
Pressing button activates the "Plus"
mode, which differs from the "Normal"
mode for an increased deceleration when
the accelerator pedal is released.
268 5520724D
By pressing button fig. 268 the LED
located on the button will light up and
the symbol will be shown on the
instrument panel display, which will be:
white if the “Plus” function has been
selected but is not active (e.g. high-
voltage battery too charged, too cold/hot,
etc.);
green if the “Plus” function has been
selected and is active.
When switching from "Plus" to "Normal"
and vice versa, a dedicated message will
appear on the instrument panel display.
"eBraking" MODE
(HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
CHARGING)
(Plug-in Hybrid version)
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 To make the most efficient
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 efficiency is always
guaranteed by the conventional braking
system.
NOTE On the car, in addition to the
conventional braking system, the rear
electric motor is able to slow the car
down under certain conditions while also
allowing the high-voltage battery to be
recharged.
