Examples of displays
On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy (the Stop & Star t system stops and
restar ts the Diesel engine automatically).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by the rear wheels.
100 % electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electric motor, powered by the battery, drives the rear wheels.
The display of "Zero Emission" indicates that the Diesel engine
is off and the vehicle is producing no CO2.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
Use automatic mode Aas much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce
the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not requiretheir use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.
Control the use of your electrical equipment

200 V high voltage battery
The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type 200 V high voltage battery is located below the boot
floor, close to the electric motor. It cannot be
recharged from a mains supply.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becominga generator and conver ts kinetic energy into
electrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very short and iscontinuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or high load, for example) will quickly return to
a state of charge sufficient for full operation of
the different hybrid modes.
The recharge takes place automatically
when driving .
The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running.

Monitoring
Indicator and warning lamps
When the engine is star ted, these same warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to
the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of cer tain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come on inone of two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the operation of the vehicle can itbe determined whether the situation is normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information. Visual indicators in
forming the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off or has a fault.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.

System for manual adjustment of the brightness of the instruments and controls in relation to theexterior brightness.
Lighting dimmer
Activation
When the lighting is on:
)press the button to change the brightness
of the instruments and controls, )when the level of brightness required isreached, release the button.
Deactivation
When the lighting is off, or in day mode on
vehicles fitted with daytime running lamps,pressing the button does not have any effect.
System which measures the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its life.
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thir ty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
Total distance recorder
System which measures a distance travelledduring a day or other period since it was reset
to zero by the driver. ) With the ignition on, press the button until
zeros appear.
Trip distance recorder
To c o nform to legislation in the countryyou are crossing, change the units of distance (miles or km) via the configuration menu.

Safety anti-pinch
In automatic mode and at the end of its travel,
if the blind meets an obstacle while closing it stops and moves back slightly.
If the blind stops and immediatel
y opens again
during a closing manoeuvre:
) operate the control until the blind is fully open, )
then operate the control until the blind is fully closed. The safety anti-pinch function is not operational during these operations.
If the blind meets an obstacle during operation, you must reverse the movement of the blind. To do this, press the control concerned. When the driver operates the blind control, they must ensure that no one ispreventing correct closing of the blind.
The driver must ensure that passengersuse the blind correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the blind.
Reinitialisation
If power to the blind is cut off while it is moving,
the safety anti-pinch must be reinitialised: )operate the control until the blind is fully closed, )continue to press for at least 3 seconds.
A slight movement of the blind will then be
noticeable, confirming the reinitialisation.

Comfort
Switch on the ignition or star t the engine if the vehicle has gone into economy mode.
The electric functions of the driver's seat are active for about 45 seconds after opening the front door. They are deactivated about 45 seconds after switching off the ignition and in economy mode.
To reactivate them, switch on the ignition.
