Sport mode
(Diesel and electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing additional performance
.
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the
electric motor, supplementing the power
of the Diesel engine.
This mode manages the progressive-
ness of the accelerator, the electronic
gearbox and the use of the electric
motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional trac-
tion
*** at low speed by driving all
4 wheels of the vehicle continuously:
the Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and
the electric motor (rear wheel drive) op-
erate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electroni-
cally to optimise traction on slippery
surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is pro-
vided, if needed, by the alternator-
starter motor of the front engine.
The Diesel engine operates continu-
ously.
- The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 75 mph
(120 km/h).
This mode should be used on
snow covered roads or diffi cult
ground (mud, sand, ...).
In this mode, in severe conditions
and if the circumstances allow, it is
recommended that you accelerate
strongly to ensure that you move off
and avoid any risk of getting stuck.
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendationson maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.
