TING AND DRIVING

Optimal energy recovery
Optimizing energy recovery is possible by
adopting an appropriate driving style.
As soon as the indicator on the instrument
panel display shows the maximum energy
recovery, press the brake pedal deeper,
only if the driving conditions require it.
Examples of fuel-saving driving
The hybrid system allows particularly
ef
fi cient energy management under
different driving conditions.
Constant speed driving : the electric motor
removes load from the heat engine at
intervals, by automatic activation.
Fuel consumption optimization
Charge the vehicle regularly using a
charging device.
This reduces fuel consumption from the
electricity use by using the "ELECTRIC"
operating mode.
WARNING If the car has to be stored for
a long time (more than 1 month), the
high-voltage battery charge level can be
reduced. It is therefore recommended to
leave the high-voltage battery status over
50%.
Electrical operating mode
The range of the car in electric mode is
in
fl uenced by several factors (including
electrical devices such as air conditioning,
UConnect™
system, lighting, etc.) and
varies depending on driving conditions
and/or traf
fi c.
