Range is accredited in according to a standard regulatory method. Identical for all manufacturers, this enables vehicles to be compared with one another.

Range in real time depends on vehicle usage conditions, equipment fitted and the user’s driving style. To optimise range, please refer to the following advice.

Depending on the versions, you will be provided with functions which enable you to lower energy consumption:

• on the instrument panel:
  • the power meter;
  • the driving style indicator;
• on the multimedia screen:
  • data relating to your energy consumption;
  • an energy consumption graph;
  • scores based on your driving style;
  • ECO driving advice;
  • a route planner;
  • an ECO driving mode.

Power meter

(on the instrument panel)

The power meter gives the driver a real-time view of the vehicle's energy recovery or consumption.

Blue "Energy recovery" A usage zone

When driving, if you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal or apply the brake, the motor generates electrical current during deceleration, and this energy is used to slow down the vehicle and recharge the traction battery.

"Optimal" 0 usage zone

Indicates nil consumption.

Green "consumption recommended" usage zone B

(depending on the vehicle)

The traction battery supplies the electrical energy required for the motor to move the vehicle.

White "consumption not recommended" usage zone C

(depending on the vehicle)

Indicates high energy consumption.

Driving style indicator 1

(depending on the vehicle)

Informs you about the driving style adopted in real time. You will be notified by indicator 1.

The more petals displayed on the indicator 1, the more your driving is flexible and economical.

If you regularly monitor this indicator, you will reduce your vehicle’s fuel consumption.

Please refer to the multimedia instructions for further information.

On the multimedia screen

Journey record

Once the engine is switched off, you will see "Journey record" displayed on the multimedia screen 2, enabling you to view information on your last journey.

This indicates:

• general score;
• score evolution;
• distance without fuel consumption.

Please refer to the multimedia instructions for further information.

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is displayed to let you assess your eco driving performance. The higher the rating, the lower the energy consumption.

Eco advice is given to help improve your performance.

With your favourite journeys saved, you can compare your performance between trips and the performance of other vehicle users.

ECO mode

ECO mode is a function which optimises energy consumption.

ECOmode enables you to limit the power and maximum speed.

Limiting acceleration enables low fuel consumption in urban and surrounding areas.

Activating the function

The function can be activated by pressing switch 3.

The warning light comes on on the instrument panel to confirm activation.

While driving, it is possible to exit the ECO mode temporarily in order to improve engine performance.

To do this, press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully.

ECO mode is reactivated when you take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

Deactivating the function

The function can be deactivated by pressing switch 3.

The warning light goes out on the instrument panel to confirm deactivation.

Vehicle range: advice

In real usage, the range of an electric vehicle may vary depending on several factors over which you have partial control, which may make a considerable difference to the vehicle range.

These factors are:

• speed and driving style;
• road type;
• heating level;
• tyres;
• use of electrical accessories;
• vehicle loading.

Furthermore, activating mode ECO enables the vehicle to automatically take charge of all energy consumers (engine power etc.) to reduce their consumption to the fullest possible extentDriving advice, eco-driving.

Speed and driving style

Driving at high speed will significantly reduce your vehicle's range.

Examples (at a steady speed):

• reducing the speed from approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h) allows you to save up to around 20% of fuel range;
• reducing your speed from approximately 56 mph (90 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h) allows you to save up to around 10% of fuel range.

"Sporty" driving reduces your vehicle's range: opt for a "smoother" driving style.

Advice:

• drive at a constant speed;
• keep an eye on the tools available for viewing road conditions (charge meter, current consumption, journey record, etc.) Driving advice, eco-driving ;
• adapt your driving style to avoid excessive energy consumption;
• favour energy recovery: anticipate traffic changes by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal or braking gradually.

Road type

Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill; accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.

Heating levels

The use of heating or air-conditioning reduces vehicle range.

To maintain your vehicle range, we recommend that you select the "programming" mode before using the vehicleAir conditioning: programming.

Vehicle loading

Avoid pointlessly overloading your vehicle.

Tyres

An under-inflated tyre increases energy consumption. Comply with the specified tyre pressures for your vehicle.

When driving, use tyres made by the same manufacturer, with the same dimensions, type and structure as the original tyres. The use of non-regulation tyres significantly reduces vehicle rangeTyre pressure.
