but may take a few seconds in some cases
(in particular, the time needed for pre-heating
the Diesel engine in cold weather or in energy
economy mode, for example, ...).
HYbrid4 mode selector
"AutO" mode, for everyday use and optimised
fuel consumption.
"Z
eV

" mode, to force electric running. "SPORt" m

"SPORT" mode
(Diesel and
electric)
this mode allows more dynamic driving by
providing additional performance.
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
th

is mode manages the response of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use
of the electric motor.
In "SPOR
t" m

ode:
-
t
h
e electric motor can be used up to
75 mph (120 km/h).
"4WD" mode*
(Diesel and
electric)
this mode provides additional traction ** at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle
continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)
operate simultaneously and permanently.
th

eir coupling is managed electronically to
optimise traction when grip is poor.
In 4WD mode:
-

P
ower for the electric motor is provided, if
necessary, by the alternator-starter motor
of the front engine.
t
h
e Diesel engine
operates continuously.
-
t
h
e additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).th is mode should be used on snow
covered roads or difficult ground
(mud, sand, ...).
In this mode, in severe conditions
and if the circumstances allow, it is
recommended that you accelerate
strongly to facilitate moving off and
reduce the risk of getting stuck.
th

e addition of "4WD" traction is
available whatever:
-

t
he state of charge of the traction
battery,
-

t
he altitude.
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.
th

is value will vary with vehicle load,
the nature of the ground sur face and
the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehicle
can traverse an obstacle, they assume
entire responsibility for this.
* "4WD": 4 Wheel Drive.
**
t
h
is mode will be even more effective if tyres
more suitable for the conditions are fitted
("winter" tyres in particular). When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking pace.
