Operation
The hybrid system selects the
combustion engine and/or the electric
engine according to the driving style
(smooth, sporty, etc.), the traffic
conditions and driving mode selected
🡺299.
Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the depth of water is
above the lower edge of the
wheel rims.
Energy flow indicator
Depending on the driving mode
selected, the warning light
7
represents the energy flows between:
– the electrical assembly
(traction battery and electric motor);
– the combustion engine;
– the wheels.
The colour of flows varies:
– blue: electrical energy;
– white: energy produced by the
combustion engine.
"Electric traction"
A
flow
The electrical assembly is used to
move the vehicle.
"Combustion engine traction"
B
flow
The combustion engine is used to
move the vehicle.
"Energy recovery"
C
flow
When you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or when you press
on the brake pedal, the electric motor
and/or the regenerative braking
system convert the energy produced
by the vehicle deceleration into electric
energy.
This is used to brake the vehicle and
recharge the traction battery.
Flow
D
"Energy production"
The combustion engine recharges the
traction battery.
