Air conditioning / Heating
Question
Answer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric
when the heating or air conditioning is operating, is that
right? The demand for heating or air conditioning may require the starting of the HDi Diesel
engine until the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal operation of the Hybrid4 system is simply put back. The period can be longer
under very low or very high ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is very hot and the air
conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for
shorter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the HDi Diesel engine is put on standby and the vehicle
runs on electric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the
temperature in the vehicle and the level of comfort selected.
In very hot weather, it is possible to press the " ECO OFF
" button (which brings the vehicle
out of ZEV
mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give
preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
Miscellaneous
Question
Answer
Is towing possible with my Hybrid4 vehicle? For information on the towing ability of your Hybrid4 vehicle, refer to " Weights and towed
loads" in the "Technical data" section.
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
This limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for the HDi Diesel engine as
well as the components of the Hybrid4 system that are also cooled by the engine's cooling
system.
Why does engine braking seem so strong? If the high voltage battery is not fully charged, the engine braking results mainly from the
energy recovery by the electric motor. The power of this engine braking is higher than that
of an internal combustion engine.
