Hold and Charge
Hold and Charge are available in all drive modes. The functions will switch off if Pure drive mode is activated.
Activating Hold and Charge
The functions can be activated in the center display's Function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for later use.
This function retains the charge in the hybrid battery for the electric motor and saves available electrical current for use at a later time, such as when driving in an urban area.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driving with a discharged battery - in addition to reusing energy from e.g. regenerative braking, the combustion engine will be used more frequently to maintain the charge in the battery.
Charge
Engine charges hybrid battery.
This function charges the hybrid battery with the help of the combustion engine for increased use of the electric motor at a later time.
