Hold and Charge functions
In certain situations, it can be useful to con-
trol the hybrid battery's charge level while
driving. This is possible with the
Hold and
Charge functions.
Hold and Charge are available in all drive
modes. The functions will switch off if Pure
drive mode is activated.
Function buttons for Hold and Charge
The functions can be activated in the center
display's Function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use
.
This function retains the
charge in the hybrid battery
for the electric motor and
saves available electrical cur-
rent for use at a later time, such as when driv-
ing in an urban area or residential neighbor-
hood.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid
driving with a discharged battery - in addition
to reusing energy from e.g. regenerative brak-
ing, the combustion engine will be used more
frequently to maintain the charge in the bat-
tery.
Charge
Engine charges hybrid
battery
.
This function charges the
hybrid battery with the help
of the combustion engine for
increased use of the electric
motor at a later time.
