HYBRID INFORMATION

General information about Twin
Engine
Twin Engine runs like a regular car, but cer-
tain functions differ from a car that only runs
on petrol or diesel. The electric motor drives
the car mostly at low speeds, the petrol
engine at higher speeds, as well as during
more active driving.
The driver display shows some information
that is unique to the Twin Engine - charging
information, selected drive mode, distance to
empty battery as well as the hybrid battery's
charge level.
It is possible to set the car in different drive
modes while driving, e.g. electric operation
only or, when power is required, both electric
motor and petrol engine. The car calculates a
combination of drivability, driving experience,
environmental impact and fuel economy
according to the drive mode selected.
In order that the car should have optimal func-
tion it is important that the hybrid battery with
associated electrical drive systems, as well as
the petrol engine and its drive systems, have
the correct operating temperature. Battery
capacity may be reduced considerably if the
battery is too cold or too hot. Preconditioning
prepares the car's drive systems and the pas-
senger compartment before departure so that
both wear and energy needs during the jour-
ney are reduced. The range for the hybrid bat-
tery increases.
The hybrid battery which drives the electric
motor is charged via a charging cable but can
also be charged by gentle braking and engine
braking in gear position
B . The hybrid battery
can also be charged by the car's engine.
Important to know
Car without power
Bear in mind that important functions such as
the brakes and power steering are inoperable
when the car is without power.
WARNING
In a de-energised car with the electric
motor and fuel-driven engine switched off
it is not possible to brake the car.
Towing not permitted
Towing the Twin Engine is not permitted since
this damages the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
WARNING
Remember that the car does not emit any
engine noise when it is only powered by
the electric motor and may therefore be
difficult to notice by children, pedestrians,
cyclists and animals. This is especially true
at low speeds, such as in car parks.
High-voltage current
WARNING
Several components in the car work with
high-voltage current that could be danger-
ous in the event of incorrect intervention.
These components, and all orange-col-
oured cables, must only be handled by
qualified personnel.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in the owner's manual.
