"ELECTRIC" MODE
The activation of the "ELECTRIC"
operating mode is only possible if the
high-voltage battery charge status is not
less than 1% or until the driver requires
the intervention of the heat engine (fully
depressing the accelerator pedal until it
hardens in the last part of the stroke -
"Kick-down" function).
Activation
The mode is activated by pressing the
ELECTRIC button located on the central
tunnel.
With "ELECTRIC" mode active:
the LED located on the ELECTRIC
fig.2 button is on;
the display of the instrument panel
shows "ELECTRIC".
When the "ELECTRIC" mode is activated,
the vehicle will proceed exclusively in
electric operation mode, up to a maximum
speed of 135km/h and until the battery
charge is exhausted. Depending if the
accelerator pedal is fully depressed and/
or the battery is discharged, the system
will automatically switch to the "HYBRID"
operating mode.
8)
This mode of operation can be activated
with the Selec-Terrain
TM
system dial
rotated to "AUTO" (default setting) or
"SPORT".
Even when the high-voltage battery
charge level is high and the electric mode
is available, the heat engine may start
under certain conditions to protect the
hybrid system.
WARNING You cannot start the engine if
the battery temperature is too low or too
high. If, under these conditions, the fully
electric operating mode is selected, the
heat motor is started.
"E-SAVE" MODE
Activating the "E-SAVE" operating mode
allows to maintain the charge status
or charge the high-voltage battery,
depending on the setting done on the
display of the UConnect™ 8.4” system (for
more information see "UConnect™ 8.4
NAV DAB Radio / UConnect™ 8.4” DAB
Radio” in the "Knowing the instrument
panel and Multimedia" section).
The electrical autonomy of the high-
voltage battery is thus safeguarded,
allowing it to be used, for example, for
a route in urban areas where the heat
engine use is prohibited.
Activation
The mode is activated by pressing the
E-SAVE button located on the central
tunnel.
With "E-SAVE" mode active:
the LED located on the E-SAVE button
fig.2 is on;
the display on the instrument panel
shows "E-SAVE".
The "E-SAVE" mode cannot be activated
if the state of charge of the high-voltage
battery is higher than 70%; in this case,
the LED located on the button g.2
ashes 3 times then turns off.
The "E-SAVE" mode is never activated
independently.
