FAMILIARISATION





HYBRID4 MODE SELECTOR

AUTO Mode


"Zero emissions vehicle" operation is
provided by 100% electric drive.
This mode allows silent running to be
imposed at moderate speed (urban,
parking, …).
This mode can be activated when con-
ditions permit (in particular if the state
of charge of the high voltage battery is
high enough) and allows driving up to
around 35 mph (60 km/h).


ZEV mode
(Zero Emissions Vehicle)


When stationary and when starting
the hybrid system


This mode automatically manages the
operation of the Diesel engine and the
electric motor, separately or together,
according to the vehicle's own inherent
parameters, the driving conditions and
the driving style.

The standard mode to use
in preference for optimum
fuel consumption.

This mode is activated automatically
on starting the vehicle.
In particular, this mode will activate "zero
emissions" electric operation when the
conditions permit.

The electric motor is also used to sup-
plement the Diesel engine when mov-
ing off and changing gear and when the
front wheels do not provide suffi cient
traction.



The range depends on the
state of charge of the battery
and the driving conditions (of
the order of 1.2 miles (2 km)
in favourable conditions).

FOR ECONOMICAL DRIVING, CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Main recommendations for driving economically


Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as
possible as this optimises gear changes
to suit the requirements.
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 energy
sources (internal combustion engine and/or
electric) contrary to other modes, which are
for use in particular cases.


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.


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.

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 needle (into
the "charge" zone), indicates the level of
energy recovery.
Drive smoothly

HYBRID SYSTEM
28

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 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 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.

HYBRID4 MODE SELECTOR


The selector allows the user to choose
between 4 drive modes for the vehicle.
Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode
selected is confi rmed by illumination of
the corresponding indicator.


ZEV
mode, to force electric running.

Sport
mode, to make use of the maxi-
mum performance of the vehicle.

Auto mode



4WD
mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4
mode.

It automatically manages the operation
of the Diesel engine and the electric
motor, according to inherent vehicle pa-
rameters, traffi c conditions and driving
style so as to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption
.
In particular, this mode activates "zero
emissions" electric running
when the
conditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor
:


-
can drive the vehicle on its own up to
around 36 mph (60 km/h) in "zero emis-
sions" electric running, depending on
the state of charge of the battery, if the
conditions specifi c to the vehicle are
met and if acceleration is moderate,

- supplements the Diesel engine

when moving off and changing gear,
during acceleration and when traction
from the front wheels is inadequate (it
automatically adds
4 wheel drive
),

- is no longer active above 70 mph
(120 km/h).



AUTO
mode, for normal use and opti-
mised fuel consumption.
This standard
mode to use in
preference
is activated auto-
matically
on starting the hy-
brid system.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-
sions.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

Use automatic mode A
as much as
possible as this optimises gear chang-
es to suit the circumstances.



Drive smoothly


If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents be-
fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front fo-
glamps when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when
stationary, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

HYBRID SYSTEM
38

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption set-
tle down to a consistent average.

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 relating 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 occurred.
