Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing the journey.
Optimises range and dynamic
performance. This mode is
automatically selected everytime the
vehicle is started.
Drive modes
Following drive modes are selectable:
●
●
●
Normal mode
Power mode
Eco mode
Power mode
Provides the same performance as
Normal mode, however, when the
vehicle is fully loaded.
Each drive mode corresponds to a
different vehicle setting.
Eco mode
Optimises energy consumption by
reducing the performance of heating
and air conditioning as well as
reducing the performance of the
electric engine.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear
this in mind when being towed.
Antilock brake system
To select the respective drive mode,
use the shown toggle switch.
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
