Dacia Duster

The Hybrid system selects the combustion engine and/or the electric engine according to the driving style (smooth or sporty driving, etc.) and traffic conditions.

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 1

Depending on the driving mode selected, the warning light 1 represents the energy flows between:

• the electrical assembly (traction battery and electric motor);
• the combustion engine;

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.

Note: a combination of different flows is possible (e.g. combining flow A and flow B means that the combustion engine and the electric motor are being used to move the vehicle).

All-electric driving mode

The warning light 2 is displayed on the instrument panel to inform you that the Hybrid system is using only the electrical assembly to power the vehicle movement.

Note: depending on the vehicle, when the vehicle is operating in all-electric mode the steering wheel paddles are not activated.Gear change paddles <cite>4</cite> and <cite>5</cite>
