the traction battery: this is normal and

does not represent a malfunction.

● Recover the kinetic energy of the

deceleration phases, converting it into

electrical energy, which can be used

for traction or for the power supply of

electrical accessories installed on the

vehicle.

Operation

Only appropriate mode change

instructions are validated.

With the engine running, if it is necessary

to depress the brake pedal to change

modes, an alert message will be

● Recharge the 48 V traction battery

when the state of charge is too low.

Hybrid 48 V characteristics

The electric engine operates during start

and acceleration. Driving propelled by

electric engine only is possible at low

speeds, e.g. during parking manouvers

or stop and go traffic. If driving on

motorways with a slope at a speed

less than 95 mph, the ICE is switched

off automatically when possible and the

vehicle is propelled by the electric engine

for a short distance.

● Provide all-electric driving only.

These features are achieved through

the following functions set of automatic

operating mode:

displayed on the instrument panel.

Warning

With the engine running and the brakes

released, if R, D or L is selected,

the vehicle moves off, even without

pressing the accelerator pedal.Never

depress the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time - risk of

damage to the gearbox!

Electric Engine (Hybrid

48 V)

The electric engine included in the

automatic gearbox, which is used for the

exceed the torque of the petrol engine

alone, thanks to the additional torque

provided by the electric engine.

e-Creeping

At speeds below 3 mph opening the

driver's door will engage mode P - risk

of sudden braking!

With the petrol engine off, by releasing

the brake pedal, this function allows

the vehicle to be moved forward or

backward in electric mode without having

to depress the accelerator pedal, as soon

as the mode D or R of the automatic

gearbox is selected.

Caution

Repeated use of the brake pedal

causes the restart of petrol engine to

provide braking assistance.

Warning

In the event of battery failure, it is

essential to place the chock(s) supplied

with the tool kit against one of the

wheels to immobilise the vehicle.

Special aspects of manual mode

e-Queueing

The gearbox only changes from one

gear to another if the vehicle speed and

engine speed conditions permit.

The petrol engine can also be switched

off in manual mode when stopped in

traffic or when the accelerator pedal is

released.

The all-electric potential of the driving

mode used (Normal or Eco) is also

retained.

This function makes it possible to follow

a queue of vehicles with several stops

followed by restarts of the vehicle, using

the e-Creeping, e-Launch and electric

driving modes.

Special aspects of automatic mode

These functions respond to common

driving situations where the electric

engine is available to provide additional

power or zero-emission driving.

e-Parking

Caution

This function allows parking manoeuvres

to be carried out at reduced speed with

the help of the electric engine when the

mode D or R of the automatic gearbox is

selected.

These functions are only available

if the traction battery is sufficiently

charged.These five functions cannot be

deactivated.

or torque is required and in stabilised

conditions. The petrol engine is restarted

by the belt starter.
