brake is in a temporary condition of
reduced effectiveness. Adapt your
driving accordingly.

While driving, press the DRIVE MODE
button (A) fig. 7 button located on the
dashboard. This device allows you
to set three different driving modes
according to the driver's needs:
NORMAL
POWER
ECO
Using the on-board electronics, the
device acts on the dynamic control
system of the vehicle (motor, ESC
system), interfacing the instrument
panel as well. Engagement of the
required driving mode is indicated on
the instrument panel display with a
dedicated message. The system does
not allow you to change the driving
mode when you drastically reduce the
performance of the electric motor (see
paragraph on performance limitations).
When the motor is started, the system
usually maintains the driving mode that
was active before the vehicle was
stopped.
The standard operating mode is
"NORMAL". Pressing the button once
activates "POWER" mode. Pressing the
button again to activate ECO" mode".

Driving mode selection is not available
in "Reduced engine power - Turtle
mode".

"NORMAL" mode
In "NORMAL" mode, the vehicle has
no performance limitations and can be
driven fast using all the power and
torque of the traction system, up
to a maximum speed of 130 km/h
for vehicles with a GVW of 35 q and
90 km/h for vehicles with a GVW
of 42.5 q. In this mode, the energy
consumption of the vehicle depends on
the driving style.
In "NORMAL" mode, when the
accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle slows down with an motor
braking effect similar to that of a
conventional vehicle. During this phase,
the high-voltage battery is partially
recharged (regeneration).
In "NORMAL", when the rotary control
is in D, the brake pedal must be
pressed to keep the vehicle stationary.
The "creeping" function is also
available. The vehicle will start to move
forward (with transmission in "D") or
backward (with transmission in "R")
when the brake pedal is released. The
accelerator should not be pressed in
this case.
"POWER" mode
In "e-POWER" mode, the vehicle has
no performance limitations and can be
F1A1099
driven fast using all the power and
torque of the traction system, up
to a maximum speed of 130 km/h
for vehicles with a GVW of 35 q and
90 km/h for vehicles with a GVW of
42.5 q.
"ECO" mode
When ECO mode is selected,
the accelerator pedal response is
milder and the maximum speed for
vehicles with a laden mass of 35 q
is electronically limited to 90 km/h.
"ECO mode significantly helps to adopt
a driving style aimed at maximum
efficiency and maximises the range of
the vehicle.
Energy consumption is also
optimised by reducing heating and air
conditioning output.
