DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING

Range is accredited according to a standard regulatory method. Identical for all manufacturers, this enables vehicles to be compared with one another.

Range in real time depends on vehicle usage conditions, equipment fitted and the user’s driving style. To optimise range, please refer to the following advice.

Depending on the versions, you will be provided with functions which enable you to lower energy consumption:

- on the instrument panel:

- the power meter;

- the driving style indicator;

- on the multimedia screen:

- data relating to your energy consumption;

- an energy consumption graph;

- scores based on your driving style;

- ECO driving advice;

- a route planner;

- an ECO driving mode.

Power meter

(on the instrument panel)

The power meter gives the driver a real-time view of the vehicle’s energy recovery or consumption.

Blue “Energy recovery” A usage zone

When driving, if you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal or apply the brake, the motor generates electrical current during deceleration, and this energy is used to slow down the vehicle and recharge the traction battery.

Optimum use zone 0

Indicates nil consumption.

Green “recommended consumption” B usage zone

The traction battery supplies the electrical energy required for the motor to move the vehicle.

“Consumption not recommended” white use zone C

Indicates high energy consumption.

On the multimedia screen

Journey record

Once the engine is switched off, you will see “Journey record” displayed on the multimedia screen 2, enabling you to view information on your last journey.

This indicates:

- the general score;

- score evolution;

- distance without fuel consumption.

Please refer to the multimedia instructions for further information.

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is displayed to let you assess your eco driving performance. The higher the rating, the lower the energy consumption.

Eco advice is given to help improve your performance.

With your favourite journeys saved, you can compare your performance between trips and the performance of other vehicle users.
