HYBRID SYSTEM

How to start your vehicle
- Ensure that the gear lever is in
position N
.
- Switch the ignition on by turning the
key to position 2
.
- 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
lamp come on. The power meter nee-
dle sweeps through its travel indicat-
ing 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 g-
ured to do so (otherwise, release the
parking brake manually).
How to stop your vehicle and
the 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.
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.
When stationary, switch off
the ignition and ensure that
the Ready
lamp is off before
you leave the vehicle. Other-
wise the hybrid system will still be
active. See "Underbonnet precau-
tions/warnings".

On starting the vehicle: with the gear le-
ver in position N
, press the brake pedal
and turn the ignition key to activate the
hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is
ready to move off ("Auto" mode is on by
default) and so the driver can press the
accelerator.
This lamp comes on more or less in-
stantly but may take a few seconds in
some case (in particular, the time need-
ed for pre-heating the Diesel engine in
cold weather).
READY LAMP
When stationary, ensure that
you switch off the ignition and
check that the Ready
lamp is
off when you leave the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the hybrid system will
remain active. See paragraph "Un-
derbonnet precautions/warnings".

ZEV mode *
(all electric)
Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is as-
sured 100 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running
at
moderate speeds.
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing additional performance
.
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the
electric motor, supplementing the power
of the Diesel engine.
This mode manages the progressive-
ness of the accelerator, the automatic
gear control gearbox and the use of the
electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional traction
***
at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the
vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine
(front wheel drive) and the electric motor
(rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously
and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electroni-
cally to optimise traction on slippery
surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is
provided, if needed, by the alterna-
tor-starter motor of the front engine.
The Diesel engine operates continu-
ously.
- The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 70 mph
(120 km/h).
*
ZEV: Zero Emissions Vehicle. In ZEV mode:
- the accelerator control is progres-
sive.
-
Range and acceleration capacity are
limited. The maximum speed possible
is around 36 mph (60 km/h).
- Under high load or a priority require-
ment causing the start of the Diesel
engine, the system changes auto-
matically to AUTO mode.
It can be activated when
the required conditions are
met, particularly if the state
of charge of high voltage
battery is suffi cient (4 bars minimum).
If the conditions do not allow
this mode, a message that the
ZEV mode is not available ap-
pears in the screen, the ZEV
warning lamp fl ashes for a few
seconds then goes off and the selector
comes on in AUTO.
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).
This mode should be used on
snow covered roads or diffi cult
ground (mud, sand, …).

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
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. Never touch, dismantle, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
(orange in colour) or connectors, even
in the event of an accident.
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.
UNDERBONNET
PRECAUTIONS/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.

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.
