Characteristics of driving profiles
Normal
This driving profile is always adjusted
when the drive system is connected. All
the power of the electric engine is avail-
able. The Climatronic works in normal
mode. When the Normal profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Normal mes-
sage appears on the instrument panel
display.
ECO
In the ECO driving profile, the power of
the electric engine is limited to favour
lower energy consumption. The maxi-
mum speed is reduced. The Climatronic
switches to Eco mode, optimal for low
consumption, in which the fan and the
defrosting/demisting functions are still
available. When the ECO profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Eco message
appears on the instrument panel dis-
play.
ECO+
In the ECO+ driving profile, the power
of the electric engine is limited even
more to favour even lower energy con-
sumption. The maximum speed is re-
duced. The heating and cooling func-
tions of the Climatronic are disconnec-
ted; the fan and the defrosting/demisting
functions are still available. When the
150
Driving
ECO+ profile is selected, the Driving
message appears on the in-
Mode Eco+
strument panel display.
WARNING
The driving properties may change de-
pending on the selected driving profile.
Never allow the selection of the driving pro-
file to induce you to take any risk that com-
promises safety.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Note
The power limitation of the electric engine
in the ECO and ECO + driving profiles can
be cancelled temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal as far as it will go ("kick-
down").

or stop the drive system.
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direc-
