Energy Flows
(versions with colour display)
The central area (A) of the screen
fig. 88 indicates the hybrid system
usage mode in real time by showing
the energy flow to and from the
auxiliary battery and electric motor in
different colours. The different types of
display are described in detail below:
Energy Flows
A
B
C
88
Driving with heat engine only:
white flows on a yellow background
(A) moving from the heat engine (D)
to the wheels indicate that the drive is
provided by the heat engine alone.
Auxiliary battery charging: white
flows on a green background (E)
indicate that energy passes from the
wheels to the auxiliary battery (C). The
68
direction of the arrows (B) indicate the
flow direction.
NOTE If the conventional battery is
flat, there is no energy recovery to the
auxiliary battery, and so the screen
does not display the relative recharging
flows.
Electric motor assisting the
heat engine: white flows on a blue
background (E) and the direction of the
arrows (B) from the auxiliary battery (C)
to the heat engine indicate combined
drive from the heat engine and electric
motor. The contribution of the electrical
motor is shown by the white flows on a
yellow background (A) from the auxiliary
D
battery (C).
Energy Consumption

(versions with colour display)
The auxiliary battery charge level is
indicated by set of 8 green bars (A)
fig. 89. The more coloured bars there
are, the greater the battery charge

state.

When the battery charge state is below
10%, the last bar remains on but is
yellow fig. 90. Some hybrid system
functions may be disabled in these
conditions.
