Presentation of the HYbrid4 system
Thank you for choosing this HYbrid4 vehicle,
which has characteristics that are different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the specific hybrid functions and for more information, refer
to the "Hybrid System" section.

22
The HYbrid4 technology allows two sources of energy to be associated in an effective manner:
the Diesel HDi engine, which drives the front
wheels and the electric motor, which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the hybrid modeselected 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 slowspeed and low load. It also assists the Dieselengine when moving off, accelerating and changing gear.
The battery that powers the electric motor is
recharged during phases of deceleration andstores the energy for subsequent use.1

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, motorway, 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.


Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone
displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive atsteady speeds 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 energyconsumption. Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.


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.

Monitoring
On switching on, the dial needles go to the extent of their travel then return to 0.
A.With the ignition on, the needle should
indicate the fuel remaining.B.With the engine running, the associatedlow level warning lamp should go off.

Instrument panel
1.
With the ignition on, the orange and red
warning lamps come on. 2.With the engine running, these warninglamps should go off.
If a warning lamp remains on, refer to the page concerned.

Driving safely


Before starting



- Place the gear lever in position N.

- Inser t the key in the ignition switch or keep
the electronic key in the vehicle.

Starting at temperatures above
zero
- Press the brake pedal.
- Make a single shor t press (about one second) on the STA R T/STOP
button or
turn the key fully towards the dashboard to
position 3(Start).


When the temperature is below zero
, you must initiate pre-heating of theDiesel engine:


- Without
putting your foot on the brake pedal, make an initial first press on the START/STOP button.

- Wait until the pre-heater warning lamp goes off.
-With
your foot on the brake pedal,make a second short press on the STA R T/STOP button. 25


- The instrument panel and the Read
ylampcome on, confirmed by an audible signal.

- The dial in the centre console is in AUTOmode.
