ZEV mode *
(all electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured10 0 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running
at moderate speeds.
It
can be activated when therequired conditions are met, particularly if the state of charge of high voltage battery is sufficient (4 bars minimum).
Auto mode
It automatically manages the operation of theDiesel engine and the electric motor, according
to inherent vehicle parameters, traffic conditions and driving style so as to optimise
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
In particular, this mode activates "zero emissions" electric runningwhen theconditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor:
- can drive the vehicle on its own up
to around 36 mph (60 km/h) in "zeroemissions" electric running, dependingon the state of charge of the battery, if the conditions specific to the vehicle are met
and if acceleration is moderate,
- supplements the Diesel en
gine
when
moving off and changing gear, duringacceleration and when traction from the front wheels is inadequate (it automatically adds4 wheel drive),
- is no longer active above 70 mph (120 km/h).

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV
mode NOT available
- when maintaining a comfortabletemperature in the passenger compar tment (air conditioning, ...),- when using the vehicle after prolonged parking in a sunny area,- when demisting, - during sustained and sharp acceleration - in mountainous conditions (altitude), - when using the vehicle on a steep slope(car park ramp, ...),- when regenerating the par ticle emissionsfilter, for around 5 to 10 minutes every 300 miles (500 km) (or less for extended urban running. )- in certain engine temperature conditions or requirements, such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambientconditions. In ZEV mode, these conditions lead to animmediate change to AUTO mode.The Diesel engine is switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted.
The main conditions are:
- if the gear lever is in position M,
- if the steering mounted gear change controlpaddles are operated,
- if the high voltage battery is not sufficientlycharged. At least 4 bars in ZEV mode soas to provide a cer tain distance (in AUTO mode, electric operation is available morebriefly with a lower state of charge),
- at 18 mph (30 km/h) after setting off (if the internal combustion engine has not already star ted since setting off),
- when the vehicle is on a slope, to retain engine braking from the internal combustion engine when the battery is fullycharged,
- when using engine braking from the internal combustion engine,
- when the fuel level enters the reserve zone(in the event of high consumption of this reser ve, inhibition of ZEV can continue for some time after refuelling).
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effectiveemissions control systems, in par ticular theParticle Emissions Filter (PEF). At regular inter vals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.
During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.

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

Hybrid system
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

49Hybrid system
The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an externalsource and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.
High voltage
The voltage used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Ta k e great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying thecurrent.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off system
blocks the high voltage current and cuts off
the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be started.To restar t the hybrid system, contact aCITROËN dealer.
Hi
gh voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle (sills); ensure that the vehicle is not
used for off-road activity (such as coveringrough ground) which could damage them.
Be
fore doing any work on the vehicle, switch off the ignition (Readylamp off).
Battery precautions
Hi
gh voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, cables (orange in colour) or connectors, even in the event of an accident.

Underbonnet precautions/warnings
The alternator-star ter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restar ting at any time.
Alwa
ys ensure that theignition is switched off ( Readylamp off) before
opening the bonnet.
Also ensure that the ignition is switchedoff when refuelling to avoid the enginerestarting.
