9Familiarisation





For economical driving, caring for the environment


The fuel consumptionof 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, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.


Main recommendations for driving economically


Hybrid mode selector

To optimise fuel consumption, use the Automodeof the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in par ticular cases.


Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.


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, …).
Obser ve the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.



Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone
displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at steadyspeeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible.Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows 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.

29Hybrid system
Main parts of the Hybrid4 system

The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front,
drives the front wheels and provides most of
the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It i
s fitted with the Stop & Start
system - 5which recharges the batteries and provides
additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).

Th
e 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 hi
gh 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 compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained servicetechnicians.
The batter
y state of charge
is indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).

Th
e conventional battery, located under the ybonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is recharged automatically by the high voltage
network.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which hasa secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible. This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contacta CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
