Characteristics of driving profiles This driving profile is always adjusted
when the drive system is connected. All
the power of the electric engine is avail-
able. The Climatronic works in normal
mode. When the Normal profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Normal mes-
sage appears on the instrument panel
display.
In the ECO driving profile, the power of
the electric engine is limited to favour
lower energy consumption. The maxi-
mum speed is reduced. The Climatronic
switches to Eco mode, optimal for low
consumption, in which the fan and the
defrosting/demisting functions are still
available. When the ECO profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Eco message
appears on the instrument panel dis-
play.
In the ECO+ driving profile, the power
of the electric engine is limited even
more to favour even lower energy con-
sumption. The maximum speed is re-
duced. The heating and cooling func-
tions of the Climatronic are disconnec-
ted; the fan and the defrosting/demisting
functions are still available. When the
Normal
ECO
ECO+
ECO+ profile is selected, the Driving
Mode Eco message appears on the in-
strument panel displ
ay. WARNING
The driving properties may change de-
pending on the sel ect

ed driving profile.
Never allow the selection of the driving pro-
file to induce you to take any risk that com-
promises safety.
