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.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Warning lamps
When the hybrid system is active or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates
a fault which requires action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in
the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

with another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in
the screen. It is associated with the
braking system, the power
steering, the engine oil
pressure, the engine coolant
temperature or the hybrid
system. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Service
temporarily. A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen, such as, for example:
- the hybrid system,
- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- saturation of the particle emission
fi lter (Diesel).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
