Introduction

The Mild Hybrid system improves engine performance. The vehicle has more acceleration torque available while consuming less fuel.

Secondary "48 V" battery

The Mild Hybrid vehicle is equipped with a secondary "48 V" battery Secondary 48 V battery.

Located under the front passenger seat, this battery stores the energy recovered during phases of deceleration. This energy is used by the Mild Hybrid system to provide additional torque to the combustion engine.

If your vehicle is parked for a long time, start the engine at regular intervals (about once a month) for about 15 minutes to recharge the secondary "48 V" battery.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery and make it impossible to start the vehicle.

Ensure that no objects or fluids enter the air vent 1.

If an object enters the air vent or there is a fluid leakage, please contact an Approved Dealer.

Note: under the front right seat, you may hear ventilation noises while the traction battery cooling system is operating.

If the "48V battery cooling: obstructed under seat grid" message appears on the instrument panel, clear the vent of any obstructions.

If the message persists after the vent is cleared, consult an Approved Dealer.

tip

Take care not to obstruct the air vent 1.

If the vent is obstructed (e.g. due to an object placed over it), the traction battery may overheat and hinder the performance of the electric motor.
