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

Vehicle equipped with an on-board computer A

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

  • 2_ALL_391_1_pictogramme.png the electrical assembly (traction battery and electric motor);
  • 2_ALL_064_1_pictogramme.png the combustion engine;

The colour of flows varies:

  • blue: electrical energy;
  • white: energy produced by the combustion engine.

Flow C "Electric traction"

The electrical assembly is used to move the vehicle.

Flow D "Combustion engine traction"

The combustion engine is used to move the vehicle.

Flow E "Energy recovery"

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 F "Energy production"

The combustion engine recharges the traction battery.

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

Vehicle equipped with on-board computer B

Depending on the driving mode selected, the various energy flows are shown on the instrument panel.

These are energy flows between:

  • G: the combustion engine;
  • H: the electrical assembly (traction battery and electric motor).

The colour of flows varies:

  • blue: electrical energy;
  • white: energy produced by the combustion engine.
tip

Special case

When the traction battery reaches a maximum charge level, the engine brake is temporarily reduced. Please adapt your driving style appropriately.

warning

The engine brake should under no circumstances be used as a substitute for the brake pedal.

All-electric driving mode

The warning light 2 2_ALL_419_1_pictogramme.png is displayed on the instrument panel to inform you that the Hybrid system is using only the electrical assembly to power the vehicle movement.
