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 in-
formation, refer to the "Hybrid System"
section.
The HYbrid4 technology allows two
sources of energy to be associated in
an effective manner: the Diesel HDi en-
gine, which drives the front wheels and
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 driving
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
motor is recharged 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
.
If the Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp comes on (ambient tempera-
ture below freezing), wait unit it goes
off before starting.
- The instrument panel and the
Ready
lamp come on. The power
meter needle sweeps through its
travel indicating that the hybrid
system is active, confi rmed by
a message
; 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 auto-
matically as you move off, if confi -
gured to do so (otherwise, release
the parking brake manually).
How to stop your vehicle andthe hybrid system
- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
- 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, the P
warning lamp must
be on.
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal, turn
the ignition key to position 3
to start
up the hybrid system, then release
the key.
When stationary, switch off the
ignition and ensure that the
Ready
lamp is off before you
leave the vehicle, otherwise
the hybrid system will still be active.
For more information, refer to the "Un-
derbonnet precautions / warnings"
section.
When your vehicle starts in electric
mode, this means that it makes no
noise. Be very careful of pedestrians
as they will not hear you coming.

Displays according to version in the
instrument panel screen or the main
screen.
This mode allows a more dynamic driving
style providing increased performance.
Acceleration and pickup are maximised
using the full capacity of the electric mo-
tor to supplement the Diesel engine.
The Stop & Start system also 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 automati-
cally to optimise traction on slippery
surfaces. This mode should be used on
snow covered roads and diffi cult ground
(mud, sand, …).

Main parts of the HYbrid4 system
The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and pro-
vides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fi tted with the Stop & Start
system - 5
which recharges the batteries and pro-
vides 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 decel-
eration.
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 com-
ing 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 dur-
ing 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 gearbox - 6
provides, in automatic mode, signifi cant savings in
fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its elec-
tronic 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.

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
.
If the Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp comes on (ambient tempera-
ture below freezing), wait unit it goes
off before starting.
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal, turn
the ignition key to position 3
to start
up the hybrid system, then release
the key.
- The instrument panel and the Ready

needle sweeps through its travel in-
dicating that the hybrid system is
active, confi rmed by a message

the dial in the centre console is in AUTO
mode (default mode for starting).
- The hybrid system determines

Diesel engine.
- With the brake still applied, move
the gear lever to position A
to go

- 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).
How to stop your vehicle andthe hybrid system
- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
- 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, the P
warning lamp must
be on.
For more information, refer to the
"Underbonnet precautions / warnings"
section. When stationary, switch off the
ignition and ensure that the
Ready
lamp is off before you
leave the vehicle, otherwise the
hybrid system will still be active.
When your vehicle starts in
electric mode, this means
that it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians
as they will not hear you coming.

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).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by
the electric motor/generator, then being driven by the
rear wheels.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your
foot off the accelerator pedal, deceleration will then be
less marked than with a conventional vehicle.
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 Emission" indicates that the Diesel
engine is off and the vehicle is producing no CO
