Overview
– Domestic charging in mode 2 using a
domestic socket and associated charging cable
7
.
–

Accelerated charging in mode 3 using an
accelerated charging unit (W

allbox).
–

Superfast charging in mode 4 using a fast
public charger

.
The 400
V traction battery 2 uses Lithium-Ion
technology. It stores and supplies the energy
required for the operation of the electric motor,
air conditioning and heating. Its charge level is
represented by an indicator and a reserve power
warning lamp on the instrument panel.
The 12
V accessory battery 3 powers the
vehicle’s conventional electrical system. It is
recharged automatically by the traction battery
via the on-board charger.
The heat pump
4 provides passenger
compartment heating and regulates traction
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger 5 manages the domestic
charging
(mode 2) and accelerated charging
(mode 3) of the traction battery as well as the
recharging of the 12
V accessory battery.
The electric motor
6 provides propulsion in
accordance with the selected driving mode and
driving conditions. It recovers energy during
vehicle braking and deceleration
phases.

Eco-driving
Optimising the driving range (Electric)
The vehicle’s electrical consumption depends
heavily on the route, the vehicle speed and your
driving style.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake
smoothly, whenever possible using engine
braking with the regenerative braking function,
which will move the power indicator into the
"CHARGE" zone.
Use the air conditioning rather than the heating
to demist the passenger compartment.
