Activating brake regeneration
- Depress the brake pedal.
- The car brakes and regenerates energy.
- Regeneration increases during engine braking when manual gearshift mode M is selected.
Symbols in the driver display
If the car is a mild hybrid, a battery symbol is shown in right-hand side of the driver display.
When the battery is charged, such as during regenerative braking, it is indicated by this symbol.
Launch function
(Option/accessory.)
Launch can be used when maximum acceleration is required from stationary.
Activate Launch
Make sure the car is stationary and the wheels are pointing straight forward.
Make sure the car is stationary and the wheels are pointing straight forward.
- Move to gear position D.
- Depress the brake pedal fully.
- Then fully depress the accelerator pedal.
- Release the brake pedal within 2 seconds.
Note
If the Launch function does not work, wait a few minutes and let the drivetrain cool down to working temperature before retrying.

Important
The drivetrain is subject to wear and tear when using Launch and therefore the function is only available a limited number of times.

All-wheel drive
(Option/accessory.)
- All-wheel drive (AWD) (All-wheel drive) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time, which improves traction.
- To achieve the best possible traction, the motive force is distributed automatically to the wheels with the best grip. The system continuously calculates the need for torque to the rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute up to half of the motor’s torque to the rear wheels.
- All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive is always engaged in preparation for maximum traction during acceleration.
- All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode.
