PRESENTATION OF THE HYbrid4 SYSTEM
26
Thank you for choosing a 3008 HYbrid4;
this vehicle has characteristics that are
different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the
specifi c hybrid functions and for more
information, refer to the "Hybrid System"
section.
The HYbrid4 technology allows two
sources of energy to be associated in an
effective manner: that of the Diesel HDi
engine which drives the front wheels and
that of the electric motor which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alter-
nately or simultaneously, according to
the hybrid mode selected and the driv-
ing conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power
for the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions
Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for
running at slow speed and low load. It
also assists the Diesel engine when
moving off, accelerating and changing
gear.
The battery that powers the electric mo-
tor recharges itself during phases of
deceleration and stores the energy for
subsequent use.

How to start your vehicle
- Ensure that the gear lever is in posi-
tion N
.
- Switch the ignition on by turning the
key to position 2
.
- The Ready
lamp and the instrument
panel come on. The power meter
needle sweeps through its travel in-
dicating that the hybrid system is
active, confi rmed by a message
"hybrid system active"
; the dial in
the centre console is in AUTO
mode
(default mode for starting).
- The hybrid system determines
whether it is necessary to start the
Diesel engine.
- With the brake still applied, move
the gear lever to position A
to go
forwards or R
(by lifting the lever
slightly) for reverse.
- Lift your foot off the brake pedal, you
can move off.
- The parking brake is released au-
tomatically as you move off, if con-
fi gured to do so (otherwise, release
the parking brake manually).
the hybrid system
- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
- Preferably, place the gear lever in
position N
.
- Turn the ignition key to position 1
,
the parking brake is applied auto-
matically if confi gured to do so.
- Otherwise apply the parking brake
manually.
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal, turn
the ignition key to position 3
to start
up the hybrid system, then release
the key.
In most cases the vehicle
starts in electric mode. This
means that your 3008 HYbrid4 makes no noise. So be very
careful of pedestrians as they will not
hear you coming.

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, …).

Main parts of the hybrid system on 3008 HYbrid4
The Diesel HDi Diesel engine 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and
provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fi tted with the Stop & Start
system 5
which recharges the batteries and
provides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).
The electric motor 2
, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or
supplements the Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the
vehicle and is active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
A 200 V NI-MH high voltage battery 3
, provides a source of energy for the rear
electric motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of
deceleration.
It is located in a compartment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained
service technicians.
The battery state of charge
is indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending
on the screen).
The conventional battery
, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V
systems. It is recharged automatically by the high voltage network.

The electronic power
supervisor
4
automatically manages the operation of the
two power units (Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inverter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current
coming from the high voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and
270 volts.
The transformer converts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the
vehicle's ancillary systems.
The Stop & Start system 5
allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during
stops (traffi c lights, a stop, or in a traffi c jam, for example) or during phases of
running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instanta-
neous and transparent for the driver.
The electronic gear control gearbox 6
provides, in automatic mode, signifi cant
savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks
to its electronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing
the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind
the steering wheel.

tion N
.
- Switch the ignition on by turning the
key to position 2

lease the parking brake manually).
How to stop your vehicle andthe hybrid system
- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
- Preferably, place the gear lever in
position N
.
- Turn the ignition key to position 1
,
the parking brake is applied auto-

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.
