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

11036_P1310_011_1_image.jpeg

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.

tip

It is recommended that you do not drive in all-electric mode with the fuel tank empty.

If the orange 2_ALL_522_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears on the instrument panel and a beep sounds, fill the tank with fuel as soon as possible.

Risk of immobilisation

If there is no fuel in the tank, the vehicle automatically switches to all-electric mode.

If you drive until the traction battery is depleted, it will be impossible to restart the vehicle (even after refuelling). Call an approved Dealer.
