Energy Management" system operating
mode
The "Energy Management" system allows
you to select the following operating
modes:

"HYBRID" mode
(" Charge-depleting
mode "): this operating mode mainly
uses the electric motor. The heat
engine will only start if the driver
presses the accelerator pedal and
then it will switch off when it is no
longer needed (accelerator pedal
release).

"E-SAVE" mode
• " Battery hold ": this operating
mode allows you to safeguard the
high-voltage battery charge status
maintaining its current charge
status, so that it can be used at
a later time (e.g. when driving on
traffic restricted city streets).
• " Battery charge ": this operating
mode activates the heat engine
operation for driving and charging
the high-voltage battery so that it
can be used at a later time (e.g.
when driving on traffic restricted
city streets). In this operating
mode, fuel consumption will
increase in order to provide the
energy needed to charge the high-
voltage battery.

"ELECTRIC mode"
: this operating mode
activates the operation of the electric
motor only. If high performance is
required (pressing on the accelerator
pedal) the electric motor and the
heat engine will run simultaneously.
A continuous acoustic warning will
sound in this case to warn the driver.
