Driving in mode B

(depending on the vehicle)

This mode allows driving with a more

dynamic regenerative mode. By re-

leasing the accelerator, the vehicle

uses regenerative braking to slow

down the vehicle. Thus the motor

generates higher electrical current

which allows the traction battery to

be recharged.

hicle is stationary it will move for-

ward as soon as you release the

In the event of an engine fault or an

electrical fault (battery fault, etc.),

make sure that the vehicle is proper-

ly immobilised.

If the "Auto gearbox P failure" mes-

sage appears on the instrument

panel, it may not be possible to ap-

ply the parking brake. Be sure to se-

cure the vehicle with the electronic

parking brake and consult an ap-

proved dealer.

P position must only be

engaged when the vehi-
