"eCoasting" mode

(ENERGY SAVING)

This is a mode that replaces the

exhaust brake when the accelerator

pedal is released, recovers energy

during the slowing down phase of the

car.

The "eCoasting" mode is automatically

activated in "NORMAL" operating

mode to maximise energy recovery

when the accelerator and brake pedals

are released.

Driving in "eCoasting" mode is possible

if the transmission is in position "D"

(Drive).

209

"eBraking"

MODE (HIGH-

VOLTAGE BATTERY

CHARGING)

The "eBraking" mode, which is

always active regardless of the

selected operating mode activates the

high-voltage battery charging when

the brake pedal is pressed, thereby

recovering energy during braking.

The electric motor works as an

alternator, converting the kinetic energy

of the car into electrical energy.

Using this mode is particularly useful

when driving in the city, where there

are continuous stops and starts.

NOTE To make the most efficient use

of the system, the braking phase

should, where possible, be modulated

by applying so as to allow maximum

energy recovery.

NOTE In the event of an emergency,

maximum braking efficiency is always

guaranteed by the conventional braking

system.

ONE-PEDAL

DRIVING

With One-Pedal Driving in "RANGE"

and "SHERPA" modes, the accelerator

pedal can also be used to control

deceleration of the car to a complete

stop.

Quickly release the accelerator pedal to

obtain aggressive deceleration. Slowly

release the accelerator pedal to adjust

of the deceleration of the car.

WARNING When One-Pedal Driving

is active and the driver releases the

seat belt, the electric parking brake is

applied automatically and One-Pedal

Driving is not possible.

Press the accelerator pedal to reach

the desired speed. The deceleration

provided by One-Pedal Driving mode

allows for full regenerative braking and

helps to increase the efficiency of the

car.

With the One-Pedal Driving mode

enabled, the electric parking brake may

be automatically applied if:

the car stops on a slope;

the driver’s door is open;

car stopped for longer than five

minutes;

problem to the propulsion system.

To resume driving, press the

accelerator pedal and the electric

parking brake will automatically release.

The One-Pedal Driving mode may

shift the transmission to P if the car is

pushed after stopping or if there is a

problem with the electric motor.

TOWING TRAILERS

The vehicle is type-approved for

towing. It is not permitted to mount an

aftermarket towing device.

WARNING The installation of a towing

device on the vehicle can lead to

accidents and result in serious injury.

WARNING Never equip the vehicle

with a towing device. Attaching towing

devices can cause extensive damage

to the vehicle.

IN CASE OF

ACCIDENT

216)

AUTOMATIC HIGH-

VOLTAGE BATTERY

DISCONNECTION

In the case of an accident, with the

intervention of the battery disconnect

system and airbags, the high-voltage

battery is disconnected automatically,

to avoid possible fire risks that could

put passengers and any other people

involved in traffic and/or near the car in

a dangerous condition.
To reactivate the high-voltage battery,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

PRECAUTIONS IN CASE

OF ACCIDENT

To minimise the risk of serious injury,

observe the following precautions:

park safely on the side of the road,

apply the electric parking brake, put

the one-speed transmission in P and

switch off the electric motor;

contact rescue immediately, warning

that it is a electric car equipped with a

high-voltage system;

if you notice any electrolyte leakage

from the high-voltage battery, do not

go near the vehicle. If the electrolyte

from the high-voltage battery comes

into contact with the eyes or skin,

blindness or skin lesions may occur.

Any vapors released from the

electrolyte, if inhaled, may also cause a

risk of intoxication. In case of contact

with the electrolyte, rinse immediately

with plenty of water and seek medical

attention;

do not go near the high-voltage

battery with naked flames: danger of

FIRE. In case of fire, do not use water

extinguishers to extinguish the fire; the

use of water, even in small quantities,

can be dangerous;

if the car has been seriously

damaged, maintain a safe distance of

at least 15 metres between the car and

the other cars / flammable materials.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING When the weather is cold or

damp or after heavy rain or washing,

the surface of headlights or rear lights

may steam up and/or form drops of

condensation on the inside. This

is a natural phenomenon due to the

difference in temperature and humidity

between the inside and the outside

of the glass which does not indicate

a fault and does not compromise the

normal operation of lighting devices.

The mist disappears quickly when

the lights are turned on, starting from

the centre of the vent, extending

progressively towards the edges.
