“Pure” mode
Pure mode provides all-electric driving. This mode uses only the electric motor to propel the vehicle. When the traction battery is discharged, the vehicle automatically switches to My Sense mode and the IC engine starts. The maximum speed in Pure mode is approx. 78 mph (125 km/h).
You can directly access Pure mode via the EV switch in your vehicle.
“My Sense” mode
My Sense is the hybrid driving mode. Depending on the driving and battery level, this mode uses either all-electric, or a combination of the two energies, with priority given to the traction battery.
Depending on the vehicle, the IC engine may also start up in order to maintain the battery charge level.
“Sport” mode
Sport mode authorises increased engine responsiveness. Depending on the driving, electric and IC traction work together to get the best performance. Pedal responsiveness is increased and the steering is firmer.
Maintaining the traction battery charge level: “E-save”
Available from your multimedia screen in two ways:
- activation/deactivation from the “Vehicle Settings” menu;
- positionable widget on the home page.
This mode enables you to maintain a sufficient charge level in the traction battery in anticipation of a mountain road or a long motorway slope.
Note: some functions are disabled to optimise the performance of the electric motor.
For safety reasons, carry out these operations when the vehicle is stationary.
