is available, if the traction battery is
sufficiently charged. When the torque
demand is insufficient, the petrol engine
restarts.
Caution
Using the steering wheel paddles also
causes the restarting of petrol engine.
The e-Auto mode cannot switch off the
petrol engine in the following cases:
● The state of charge is less than 30% of
the traction battery energy.
● There is a need for vacuum brake
assist depending on the altitude.
● The Sport mode is selected.
● Maintaining thermal comfort in the
passenger compartment (heating, air
conditioning, demisting/defrosting).
Deactivation/Reactivation

Brakes
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents
the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to
lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even
during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent through a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that the
pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically depending on the
force of deceleration. They are switched
off automatically the first time you
accelerate.
After starting off, the system performs a
self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator ð page 51.
Fault
Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels
may be liable to lock due to braking that
is heavier than normal. The advantages
of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer
be steered and may swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by
a workshop.
