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.

The high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an ex-
ternal source and must only be handled
by a workshop technician.
There is the risk of 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 re-
moved 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
the electric motor is in the range 150 to
270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning
labels fi tted to the vehicle.
Take great care regarding the high voltage
and high temperatures of components
carrying the current.
Emergency cut-off
Never touch, dismantle, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
(orange in colour) or connectors, even
in the event of an accident.
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 restart the hybrid system, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
High voltage cables are routed under
the vehicle (sills); ensure that the vehi-
cle is not used for off-road activity (such
as crossing a ford) which could damage
them.
Before doing any
work on the vehicle,
switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off).
Battery precautions
High voltage cables
Take care to position lifting
equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at
the locations provided to avoid
damaging the cables.
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.

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.
