Displays according to version in the in-
strument panel screen or the Peugeot
Connect Media screen.
This mode allows a more dynamic driv-
ing style providing increased perform-
ance.
Acceleration and pickup are maximised
using the full capacity of the electric mo-
tor to supplement the Diesel engine.
The Stop & Start system operates in
this mode.
This mode provides improved traction.
The Diesel engine drives the front
wheels continuously and the electric
motor drives the rear wheels.
Their coupling is managed automatically
to optimise traction on slippery surfaces
and uneven ground (mode reserved for
severe conditions: deep snow, mud,
sand, …).

HYbrid4 MODE SELECTOR
The selector allows the user to choose
between 4 drive modes for the vehicle.
Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode
selected is confi rmed by illumination of
the corresponding indicator.
ZEV
mode, to force electric running
only.
Sport
mode, to make use of the maxi-
mum performance of the vehicle. Auto mode
4WD
mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.
It automatically manages the operation
of the Diesel engine and the electric
motor, according to inherent vehicle pa-
rameters, traffi c conditions and driving
style so as to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption
.
In particular, this mode activates "zero
emissions" electric running
when the
conditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor
:
- can drive the vehicle on its own up
to 36 mph (60 km/h) in "zero emis-
sions" electric running, depending
on the state of charge of the battery,
if the conditions specifi c to the ve-
hicle are met and if acceleration is
moderate,
-
supplements the Diesel engine
when moving off and changing gear,
during acceleration and when trac-
tion from the front wheels is inade-
quate (it automatically adds
4 wheel
drive
),
- is no longer active above 70 mph
(120 km/h).
AUTO
mode, for normal use and opti-
mised fuel consumption.
This standard
mode to use in
preference
is activated auto-
matically
on starting the hybrid
system.

ZEV mode *(all electric)Sport mode (Diesel and electric)
4WD mode ** (Diesel and electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is as-
sured 100 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running
at
moderate speeds.
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing additional performance
.
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the
electric motor, supplementing the power
of the Diesel engine.
This mode manages the progressive-
ness of the accelerator, the automatic
gear control gearbox and the use of the
electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional trac-
tion
*** at low speed by driving all
4 wheels of the vehicle continuously:
the Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and
the electric motor (rear wheel drive) op-
erate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically
to optimise traction on slippery surfaces,
diffi cult terrain or severe conditions:
deep snow, mud, sand, …
In 4WD mode:
-
Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, by the alternator-starter
motor of the front engine. The Diesel
engine operates continuously.
- The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 70 mph
(120 km/h).
*
ZEV: Zero Emissions Vehicle. In ZEV mode:
- the accelerator control is progres-
sive.
- Range and acceleration capacity
are limited. The maximum speed
possible is 36 mph (60 km/h).
- Under high load or a priority require-
ment causing the start of the Diesel
engine, the system changes auto-
matically to AUTO mode.
It can be activated when
the required conditions are
met, particularly if the state
of charge of high voltage
battery is suffi cient (4 bars minimum).
If the conditions allow, a mes-
sage "ZEV mode unavailable"
appears in the screen, the
ZEV warning lamp fl ashes for
a few seconds then goes off
and the selector comes on in AUTO.
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).
