partially recharge the traction battery, without
affecting the charge level indicator.
Progressive Hydraulic
Cushions
This suspension system with progressive hydraulic cushions improves driving comfort by
filtering out the imperfections and demands of
the road surface.
Each shock absorber is equipped with a
hydraulic compression stop (at the base) and a
hydraulic rebound stop (at the top).
Depending on the intensity of the shock to be
absorbed, these stops provide the vehicle with a
greater freedom of movement or gradually slow
down the amount of movement in order to avoid
any sudden jolts at the end of travel.
Unlike conventional suspension which absorbs
the energy but then partially returns some of it,
this active suspension absorbs and dissipates
this energy, without producing any rebound.
Driving modes
The number and type of driving modes available depend on the vehicle’s engine and equipment.
Driving modes are selected using one of the
following controls, depending on version:
D/B. Automatic forward gear ( D) or automatic
forward gear with regenerative braking
(B)
The gearbox manages gear changes
according to the style of driving, the road
profile and the vehicle load. With the
regenerative braking function activated,
the gearbox also controls braking when
the accelerator pedal is released.
Push selector

A. Button P
To put the gearbox into Park mode.
B. Unlock button To unlock the gearbox and come out of P or
to change to
R, with the foot on the brake
pedal.
Press and hold this button before pushing the
selector.
C. Gearbox selector indicator lamps (R, N, D/B)
To exit Park mode, wait for the READY
indicator lamp to come on.
Displays in the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on, the status of
the gearbox is displayed in the instrument panel:
P: park.
R: reverse.
N: neutral.
D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.
B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated.
In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not
indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed in
the instrument panel for a few seconds after
switching off the ignition.
Regenerative braking (Brake
function)
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need
to depress the brake pedal. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down more quickly.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is used to partially recharge the
traction battery.
This partial recharging has no effect on the charge level indicator.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From mode
D/B, move the push selector
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with
a B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
In certain situations (e.g. full battery,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking can be temporarily
limited resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
Regenerative braking using the brake
pedal
Energy recovery can also be produced
by depressing the brake pedal in order to
