Drive modes The plug-in hybrid vehicle providesseveral drive modes.
The drive modes can be selected via
the drive mode selector. The selected
drive mode is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre and in the Driver
Info Display. Selecting a drive mode
is only possible if READY is displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid system active 3 96.
AWD
The all-wheel drive mode improves
the grip of the vehicle. The vehicle is
driven by front and rear axle.
Depending on the driving situation
and the charge level of the high
voltage battery, the vehicle can be
driven 100% electrically.
All-wheel drive 3 152
Sport
This mode combines the power of the combustion engine and the electrical
engine for a dynamic driving style.
Hybrid
Hybrid mode focuses on optimising
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Combustion engine and electrical
engine operate together or in
alternation depending on driving
conditions and driving style.
Electric
In this mode, the vehicle is driven by
the electric engine only. Electric
mode is the default mode.Electric propulsion is available for
speeds below 135 km/h.
All-wheel drive The all-wheel drive system enhances
driving characteristics and stability,
and helps to achieve the best
possible driveability.
In all-wheel drive mode, the front axle is driven by the combustion engine or
the electrical engine, the rear axle is
driven by a second electrical engine.
Driving and operating159ESC off mode 9
The ESC and Traction Control are
deactivated in this mode.
A LED in the button a illuminates.
ESC and Traction Control are
reactivated automatically from
50 km/h or everytime the ignition is
switched on.
Standard mode 2
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
Snow mode 3
This mode adapts to the grip
conditions encountered by each
wheel when starting.
When advancing, the system
optimises wheel spin to guarantee the
best acceleration based on theavailable traction. Recommended in
cases of deep snow and steep
inclines.
This mode is active up to a speed of
50 km/h.
Mud mode 4
This mode allows considerable wheel
spin at start-up for the wheel with the
least grip, this removes mud and re-
establishes traction.
Simultaneously, the wheel with the
most grip is provided with the most
torque possible.
This mode is active up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Sand mode 1
This mode allows a small amount of simultaneous wheel spin on the two
drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to
advance and reduce the risk of
sinking.
This mode is active up to a speed of
120 km/h.Caution
Do not use the other modes on
sand as the vehicle may become
