Accelerated charging (mode 3)

►ꢀ Distribute the load in the trailer so that

the heaviest items are as close as possible to

the axle, and the nose weight approaches the

maximum permitted without exceeding it.

engine performance. The maximum towable

load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of

altitude.

accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and when the

green light guides in the flap come on fixed.
