HYBRID4 MODE SELECTOR
AUTO Mode
"Zero emissions vehicle" operation is
provided by 100% electric drive.
This mode allows silent running to be
imposed at moderate speed (urban,
parking, …).
This mode can be activated when con-
ditions permit (in particular if the state
of charge of the high voltage battery is
high enough) and allows driving up to
around 35 mph (60 km/h).
ZEV mode
(Zero Emissions Vehicle)
When stationary and when starting
the hybrid system
This mode automatically manages the
operation of the Diesel engine and the
electric motor, separately or together,
according to the vehicle's own inherent
parameters, the driving conditions and
the driving style.
The standard mode to use
in preference for optimum
fuel consumption.
This mode is activated automatically
on starting the vehicle.
In particular, this mode will activate "zero
emissions" electric operation when the
conditions permit.
The electric motor is also used to sup-
plement the Diesel engine when mov-
ing off and changing gear and when the
front wheels do not provide suf fi cient
traction.
The range depends on the
state of charge of the battery
and the driving conditions (of
the order of 1.2 miles (2 km)
in favourable conditions).
