open, even when the ignition and lights are turned off. For this reason, ensure that the
rear lid is al

ways closed. Note
If not all the vehicle doors are closed, the
int erior lights will be s

prox. 10 minutes, providing the ignition key
has been removed and the courtesy light
position selected. This prevents the battery
from discharging. Visibility

cools and dehumidifies the
air. Its optimum performance is achieved with
the windows closed.
To switch a specific function on, press the ap-
propriate button. Press the button again to
switch off the function.
The LED on each control lights up to indicate
that the respective function of a control has
been switched on.
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier
against impurities in the air taken into the ve-
hicle interior.
The dust and pollen filter must be changed
regularly so that air conditioner performance
is not adversely affected.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-
tion, the filter must be changed more fre-
quently than stated in the Service Schedule. WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
cr eases the risk of serious accidents.

Drive system and driving
Brake energy recuperation Fig. 135
On the selector lever: connect the
br ak
e energy recuperation. Fig. 136
On the instrument panel display: indi-
cation of r ecuper

ation levels. The brake energy recuperation can generate
a br
aking eff

ect. This braking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery. When braking the vehicle and when the vehi-
cle mo

ves by inertia or travels downhill in the
deceleration phase, electric power is gener-
ated by the electric engine and stored in the
high-voltage battery. The electric engine
then operates as an alternator and produces
a engine brake effect. This process is called
brake energy recuperation.
The status of the recuperation is indicated in
the power display of the instrument panel
››› page 61. When recuperation is active, the
needle goes to the green area of the display.
The current recuperation level is displayed on
the instrument panel display ››› Fig. 136.
Given the case, in the application installed on
the smartphone you can view a statistic of
the energy recuperated over the last 30 mi-
nutes. Check the electronic instruction man-
ual of the application for this.
The effect of the engine brake is more or less
intense depending on the level of recupera-
tion. If the recuperation is very intense, the
brake light of the vehicle may also be switch-
ed on. As the charge level of the high-voltage
battery increases, the recuperation reduces
and, thus, the effect of the engine brake.
When the high-voltage battery is fully charg-
ed, no energy recuperation takes place and
the effect of the engine brake is not available.
When the vehicle detects that road condi-
tions do not allow safe contact between the
wheels and the road, the energy recupera- tion is automatically reduced and, therefore,
the effect of the engine br
ake ››› .
Sel ect a r
ecuperation level
There are a total of 4 brake energy recupera-
tion levels. You can switch between recupera-
tion levels 1 to 3 by pressing the selector lever
slightly sideways towards ››› Fig. 135

Braking and parking
If the electromechanical brake servo is not
w orking, the br
ake pedal must be pressed
harder, as the braking distance increases due
to the lack of assistance from the servo brake.
Brake blending
The brake energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect ››› page 139. This braking ef-
fect depends on the selected driving pro-
gramme and the level of charge of the high-
voltage battery. If the braking effect caused
by the recuperation is very intense, the vehi-
cle’s brake lights with turn on. The electric en-
gine, when operating as an alternator, can
generate braking torque on the front wheels
based on the RPM and the temperature and
charge level of the high-voltage battery.
These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
gr ound can r

esult in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

The high-voltage battery is discharged. There is only
sufficient autonomy for a few hundred metres. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Charge the high-voltage
battery immediately. The control lamps light up together when the
ignition is s
wit

ched on and should turn off af-
ter approximately 2 seconds. This is the time
taken for the function check. WARNING

Maintenance
Washing the vehicle The longer you take to clean the tanks, e.g.
r
emains of insects, bir
d excrements, tree resin
or anti frost salt adhered to your vehicle, the
more damage it can cause to the surface.
High temperatures, for instance strong sun-
light, further intensify the damage.
Before washing the car, soften the dirt using
plenty of water.
To remove encrusted dirt such as insects, bird
droppings or tree resin, use a lot of water and
a microfibre cloth.
Have the underside of the vehicle washed af-
ter the end of the anti frost salts in winter.
High pressure cleaning equipment
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
distance between the spraying water. Do not
point the jet directly towards the side win-
dows, doors or covers; the same applies for
the tyres, rubber hoses, damping material,
sensors* or camera lenses*. Keep a distance
of at least 40 cm.
Do not remove snow and ice with a high-
pressure cleaner. Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a dir
ect str

eam or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.
The water temperature must not exceed
60°C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle before starting the car
wash.
Make sure that the windows are closed and
the windscreen wipers are deactivated. Bear
in mind the instructions of the car wash tunnel
operator, especially if your vehicle has de-
tachable parts.
Use of car washes without brushes if possible.
Washing by hand
Clean your vehicle from top to bottom with a
soft sponge or with a brush. Only use clean-
ing products that do not contain solvents.
Washing vehicles with a matte paint by
hand
To prevent damage to the vehicle when
washing it, first remove the thicker dust and
dirt. To remove traces of insects, grease and
fingerprints, it is best to use a special cleaner
for matte paint.
Apply the product with a microfibre cloth. To
avoid damaging the surface of the paint, do
not apply too much pressure. Rinse with plenty of water. Then clean it with
a neutral cl
eaning product and a soft microfi-
bre cloth.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of water
and then leave it to dry. Remove traces of
water with a leather cloth. WARNING
