2011 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid 4 engine

POWER METER
The instrument panel provides real time information on the total power used,
combining electric and Diesel.
It comprises three main zones:
ECO zone

Zone which indicates that the vehicle
is optimising its energy consump-
tion
, electric, Diesel or a combination
of both.
POWER zone
Zone which indicates an increased cu-
mulative power demand
from your
hybrid vehicle, taking account of the
combined capacities of the Diesel en-
gine and the electric motor.
CHARGE ZONE

Zone which indicates that the vehicle is
in electrical energy recovery
phase: on
deceleration, braking or foot off the ac-
celerator, ...
This allows the high voltage battery
to be recharged using "free" energy

which can then be reused
for future en-
ergy requirements.

This zone corresponds to phases of elec-
tric running as well as phases of optimum
use of the Diesel engine, which are eas-
ily accessible with a suitable driving style
(smooth "eco-citizen" driving).

4.
Battery state of charge.

5.
Electric Motor/Generator. Information on the active hybrid mode, arrows for energy fl ows and the state of charge of the battery, is displayed in the
instrument panel screen or the Peugeot Connect Media screen.

Examples of displays

On starting and when stationary
there is no fl ow of energy (the Stop & Start system
stops and restarts the Diesel engine automatically).
In auto mode, priority is given to the electric motor.

Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by
the electric motor/generator, itself 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 Emissions" indicates that the Diesel
engine is off and the vehicle is producing no CO
2.

36
Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine
Various conditions can lead to restarting
or maintaining the Diesel engine, princi-
pally:


- during sustained and sharp ac-
celeration ,


- to maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment,

- when demisting,

- if the high voltage battery is not
suffi ciently charged,

-
in mountainous conditions (altitude),


- in certain temperature conditions
for the engine, such as a low am-
bient temperature (below 0 °C),

- if the temperature of the hybrid
system is too high,

- when using the vehicle after pro-
longed parking in a sunny area,

- when using the vehicle on a steep
slope,

- when regenerating the particle
emissions fi lter,

- fuel level too low.
In ZEV mode, these conditions lead
to an immediate change to AUTO
mode.
The Diesel engine is switched off auto-
matically as soon as these conditions
are lifted.
ECO OFF SWITCH


This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that
a comfortable temperature can be main-
tained in the passenger compartment
(air conditioning running continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine
restarts immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the
switch again.
After switching off the ignition, the vehi-
cle will return to normal operation (lamp
in the switch off).

FOR ECONOMICAL DRIVING, CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Main recommendations for driving economically

Drive smoothly
The fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly:


- according to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),

-
according to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motorway, fl owing,
heavy traffi c, …) and the speed.


Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the
Auto
mode
of the selector whenever
possible (the mode is activated auto-
matically when starting) including for
urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the ener-
gy sources (internal combustion engine
and/or electric) contrary to other modes,
which are for use in particular cases.


Gear lever
Use the automatic mode A as much as
possible as this optimises gear changes
to suit the requirements.
Stay in the "eco" zone
indicated in the
power meter: accelerate gently, drive at
steady speeds using the speed limiter
or cruise control as soon as possible.

Causes of high consumption and
checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading,
wind resistance (windows open above
30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or
not, …), the use of power consumers
(air conditioning, heated seats, heated
rear screen, …).
Observe the recommendations on
checks (regular check of tyre pres-
sures, correct tyre pressures, …) and
routine servicing.

Use the "charge"
zone: anticipate the
need to slow down by taking your foot
off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the power meter nee-
dle (into the "charge" zone), indicates
the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history

See the impact of your style of driving
and the type of journey by reviewing
the history of your energy consumption.
Refer to the "Multifunction screens"
section.

CONSUMPTION OF YOUR HYBRID IN THE PEUGEOT CONNECT MEDIA SCREEN

g off
After 15 minutes running

Average consumption over the last 5 minutes.
"60 % Hybrid Use" corresponds to 60 % of the
running time driven by the hybrid system and
40 % of the time with the Diesel engine only
(with no contribution from the hybrid system).


After 5 minutes running

screens" section.

200 V HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
200 V high voltage battery is located
below the boot fl oor, close to the electric
motor. It is not recharged from a mains
supply.
Charging


This recovery allows the use of "free"
energy.
The battery charging time is very short
and is continuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV
running or high load, for example) will
quickly return to a state of charge suf-
fi cient for full operation of the different
hybrid modes.
The recharge takes place automati-
cally when driving
(Auto mode to be
used in preference).
It can be faster:


- by avoiding sharp acceleration,

- by recovery on deceleration: it will
take around 5 minutes on a long de-
scent.

- it will take around 10 minutes if the
Diesel engine is left idling (forced
Diesel engine operation).

The high voltage battery has an air
cooling system, comprising an air in-
take located under the left hand rear
seat and a fan behind the left hand boot
trim panel.
This system does not work continuous-
ly, but adapts the force of the ventilation
to the requirements of the battery.
If the air intake is blocked, the battery
may overheat, damaging the battery
and causing a loss of performance of
the hybrid system. VENTILATION FOR THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

For the best use of the high
voltage battery, please follow
these recommendations:


-
do not obstruct the air intake with
loose articles, otherwise, the bat-
tery may overheat, causing a loss of
performance of the hybrid system

- do not spill fl uids, as this may
cause damage to the battery.




The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becom-
ing a generator and converts 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.


If the high voltage battery does not re-
charge, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.


To preserve the service life of
the battery, the level of charge
never falls below 10 %, even
if a level of 0 bars is displayed
after ZEV running.

Also ensure that the ignition is
switched off when refuelling to
avoid the engine restarting.

UNDER BONNETPRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS

The alternator-starter 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 restarting at any moment.


Always ensure that
the ignition is switched
off ( Ready
lamp off)
before opening the
bonnet.
