control the hybrid battery's state of charge while
driving is in progress. The
Hold
and
Charge
functions are available in all drive modes.
"Hold" and "Charge" function buttons
These functions are activated in the centre dis-
play's function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use
.
The function maintains the
charge in the hybrid battery for
electric operation saves availa-
ble electrical energy for later
use, e.g. for driving in an urban environment or
through a residential area.
Hold is available
regardless of the hybrid battery's state of charge.
The car works as for normal hybrid operation with
discharged battery where, in addition to re-using
brake-generated energy, for example, the car
starts the internal combustion engine more often
in order to maintain the charge in the battery.
Charge
Engine charges hybrid
battery
.
The function charges the hybrid
battery with support from the
internal combustion engine for
using increased electric opera-
tion at a later time. The function is not available
when the hybrid battery already has a high
charge level.
