Hybrid system
Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance. Vehicle acceleration and pick-up aremaximised by using the capacity of the electricmotor, supplementing the power of the Dieselengine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of the
accelerator, the electronic gear control gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Spor t mode:
-
The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode provides additional traction*** at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehiclecontinuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)
operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their couplin
g is managed electronically to
optimise traction on slippery surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, b
y the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.
- The additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres in
particular).
Be aware of the ground clearance of your vehicle: around 184 mm (with the vehicle in working order: driver only and
the fuel tank full) in ideal conditions. This value will vary with vehicle load,the nature of the ground surface and the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehiclecan traverse an obstacle, they assumeentire responsibility for this.

The alternator-star ter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restar ting at any time.
Also ensure that the ignition is switched off when refuelling to avoid the enginerestarting.
