During this delay:
•
Drive is provided by the eMotor only. The
engine does not provide power or respond
to throttle input.
• The transmission remains in automatic.
•
The tachometer remains at idle.
When changing back to Electric mode, there is a
slight delay as the pedal map adjusts to cater for
the decrease in power available. This is indicated
by the powertrain mode indicator progress bar.
Modes
The information displayed on the Driver Display
will change dependent on the powertrain mode
selected. See Display window, page 3.19.
The mode selected will remain active, until the
selection is changed or the ignition is switched
off.
The next time the ignition is switched on, the
powertrain mode will return to Electric mode.
The previously used handling and powertrain
modes can be quickly restored by pressing and
holding both the down Handling and Powertrain
paddles when the ignition in on.
NOTE: The use of Track mode on the
public road is not recommended. Track
mode is strictly intended for high
performance track/off road use only.
Automatic mode
Electric
Gear changes are configured for maximum
economy and efficiency.
When the High Voltage (HV) battery is not
depleted the eMotor provides drive. This allows
the full range of throttle input whilst remaining
latched in Electric drive.
When the HV battery is depleted in Electric
mode, the engine will provide drive to the wheels
once the catalysts are warm. However, torque
is limited to that provided by the eMotor and the
HV battery level is sustained. A message is
shown recommending that you change
powertrain mode.
Comfort
Gear changes are configured to offer the
optimum economy without sacrificing the
vehicle’s inherent performance.
Full combined torque is available. The engine
may turn off at low speeds, allowing the eMotor
to provide drive. This improves comfort and
reduces emissions in slow traffic.
Sport
Gear changes will occur at a higher engine speed
and with a reduced shift duration and are further
enhanced with cylinder cut. See Cylinder cut,
page 7.13.
Full combined torque is available. The engine
may turn off only when the car is stationary to
reduce emissions.
