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.

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.
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.

According to country. Indicator and warning lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver
that a system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the
occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a
few seconds when the vehicle's ignition
is switched on.
When the engine is started, 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 illumination of certain warning
lamps may be accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message in the multi-
function screen.
The warning lamps may come
on continuously (fi xed) or
fl ash.
Certain warning lamps may come on
in two different modes. Only by re-
lating the type of illumination to the
operating status of the vehicle can it
be ascertained whether the situation
is normal or whether a fault has oc-
curred.

Total distance recorder
System which measures the total dis-
tance travelled by the vehicle during its
life.
Lighting dimmer
System for manual adjustment of the
brightness of the instrument panel in re-
lation to the exterior brightness.

door is opened and when the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
Trip distance recorder
System which measures a distance
travelled during a day or other period
since it was reset to zero by the driver.
