(
Diesel and electric
)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is as-
sured 100 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running at
moderate speeds.
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing additional performance .
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the
electric motor, supplementing the power
of the Diesel engine.
This mode manages the progressive-
ness of the accelerator, the automatic
gear control gearbox and the use of the
electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional trac-
tion *** at low speed by driving all
4 wheels of the vehicle continuously:
the Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and
the electric motor (rear wheel drive) op-
erate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically
to optimise traction on slippery surfaces,
diffi cult terrain or severe conditions:
deep snow, mud, sand, …
In 4WD mode:
-
Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, by the alternator-starter
motor of the front engine. The Diesel
engine operates continuously.
-
The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 70 mph
(120 km/h).
* ZEV: Zero Emissions Vehicle.
In ZEV mode:
- the accelerator control is progres-
sive.
- Range and acceleration capacity
are limited. The maximum speed
possible is 36 mph (60 km/h).
- Under high load or a priority require-
ment causing the start of the Diesel
engine, the system changes auto-
matically to AUTO mode.
It can be activated when
the required conditions are
met, particularly if the state
of charge of high voltage
battery is suffi cient (4 bars minimum).
If the conditions allow, a mes-
sage "ZEV mode unavailable"
appears in the screen, the
ZEV warning lamp fl ashes for
a few seconds then goes off
and the selector comes on in AUTO.
** 4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
*** This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).
