Familiarisation





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.

Hybrid system
Main parts of the HYbrid4 system

The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fitted with the Stop & Start
system - 5
which recharges the batteries and provides additional
power when needed (in 4x4 mode).

Th
e 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 deceleration.
It is located in a compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained service
technicians.

The batter
y state of chargeis 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 yrecharged automatically by the high voltage network.

Hybrid system














Ready lamp

With the gear lever in position N, press the
brake pedal and star t the hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is read
y
to move off ("Auto" mode is on by default) andso the driver can press the accelerator.
This lamp comes on more or less instantly but may take a few seconds in some cases (inparticular, the time needed for pre-heating the
Diesel engine in cold weather).









HYbrid4 mode selector
AUTOmode, for normal use and optimised fuelconsumption.
ZEVmode, to force electric runnin
g.S
portmode, to make use of the maximum
per formance of the vehicle.
4WDmode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.



When stationary, switch off the hybridsystem and check that the Readylamp is off when you leave the vehicle.Other wise the hybrid system will remainactive. See paragraph "Underbonnet precautions/warnings". Th
e 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 confirmed by illumination of thecorresponding indicator.

Hybrid system

Auto mode
It automatically manages the operation of the
Diesel engine and the electric motor, according
to inherent vehicle parameters, traffic
conditions and driving style so as to optimise
the vehicle's fuel consumption.In par ticular, this mode activates "zero emissions" electric runningwhen theconditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor
:
- can drive the vehicle on its own up
to around 36 mph
(60 km/h) in "zero
emissions" electric running, dependingon the state of charge of the battery, if the conditions specific to the vehicle are metand if acceleration is moderate, -supplements the Diesel enginewhen moving off and changing gear, during acceleration and when traction from thefront wheels is inadequate (it automaticallyadds4 wheel drive ),
- is no longer active above 70 mph (120 km / h).

ZEV mode *
(all electric)

Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured
10 0 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent runningat moderatespeeds.
If the conditions do not allow this mode
, amessage that the ZEV mode is not available
appears in the screen, the ZEV warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off and theselector comes on in AUTO.
In ZEV mode:


- The accelerator control is progressive.

- Range and acceleration capacity are
limited. The maximum speed possible is
around 36 mph (60 km/h).

- Under high load or a priority requirement causing the star t of the Diesel engine, thesystem changes automatically to AUTO mode.


This standard
mode to use inpreferenceis activated automaticallyon star ting the hybrid system.


For more information on "Automaticrestarting of the Diesel engine", refer tothe corresponding section.

*
ZEV: Z
ero Emissions Vehicle.
It can be activated when the
required conditions are met,
particularly if the state of charge of high voltage battery issufficient (4 bars minimum).
