Brake position - B
Overview of brake positions in the driver display.
From
B
position, it is possible to change gear
manually. The B position can be selected at
any time during travel. The car brakes using its
electric motor when the accelerator pedal is
released, while also charging the hybrid bat-
tery. This gives more opportunities for
recharging the hybrid battery, since charging
also takes place without the driver using the
brake pedal.
Select brake position by moving the gear
selector backwards from the
D position. The
driver display shows which gear is being used.
•
Press the gear selector to the right to " + "
(plus) to change up one step and release
it.
•
Press the gear selector to the left to " – "
(minus) to change down one step and
release it.
•
Press the gear selector backwards to
return to the
D
position.
The gearbox automatically shifts down if the
speed decreases to a level lower than appro-
priate for the selected gear, in order to avoid
jerking and stalling.
