Hybrid system
Energy consumption/generation indicator
The indicator dial provides real time information
on the total power used, combining electric and
Di
esel.
It comprises three main zones.
CHARGE zone
Zone which indicates that the vehicle isin electrical energy recovery
phase:
on deceleration, braking or foot off the
accelerator, ...
This allows the high voltage battery to be recharged using "free" energy
which can thenbe reusedfor future energy requirements.
POWER zone
Zone which indicates an increased cumulative power demand
from your hybrid vehicle,
taking account of the combined capacities of
the Diesel engine and the electric motor.
Z
one which indicates that the vehicle is
optimising its energy consumption, electric,
Diesel or a combination of both.
This zone corresponds to phases of electric
running as well as to phases of optimum use of the Diesel engine, which are easily accessible with a suitable driving style (smooth "eco-citizen" driving).

Hybrid system
Examples of displays
On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy (the Stop & Star t system stops and restar ts the Diesel engine automatically).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off theaccelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by the rear wheels.
100 % electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electricmotor, powered by the battery, drives the rear wheels.
The display of "Zero Emissions" indicates that the Diesel engine
is off and the vehicle is producing no CO2.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or NON
access to ZEV mode
The main conditions are:
- if the gear lever is in position M,
- if the steering mounted gear change control paddles are operated,
- if the high voltage battery is not sufficiently charged. At least 4 bars in ZEV mode so asto provide a cer tain distance (in AUTO mode, electric operation is available more brieflywith a lower state of charge),
- at 18 mph (30 km/h) after setting off (if the internal combustion engine has not alreadystar ted since setting off),
- when the vehicle is on a slope, to retain engine braking from the internal combustion engine when the battery is fully charged,
- when using engine braking from the internal combustion engine,
- when the fuel level enters the reser ve zone (in the event of high consumption of thisreser ve, inhibition of ZEV can continue for some time after refuelling).
- when maintaining a comfor table temperature in the passenger compar tment (air conditioning, ...),
- when using the vehicle after prolonged parking in a sunny area,
- when demisting,
- during sustained and sharp acceleration
- in mountainous conditions (altitude),
- when using the vehicle on a steep slope (car park ramp, ...),
- when regenerating the par ticle emissions filter, for around 5 to 10 minutes every300 miles (500 km)(or less for extended urban running.
- in cer tain engine temperature conditions or requirements, such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambient conditions.
In ZEV mode, these conditions lead to an immediate change to AUTO mode. The Diesel engine is switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted.
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effective emissions control systems, inparticular the Particle Emissions Filter (PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaningof this filter.
During this PEF regeneration phase,electric running is purposely madeunavailable.

Hybrid system
200 V high voltage battery
The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type 200 Vhigh voltage battery is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor. It cannot berecharged from a mains supply.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicledecelerates, the electric motor then becoming
a generator and converts kinetic energy intoelectrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the Stop & Star t system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very shor t and is
continuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or high load, for example) will quickly return to astate of charge sufficient for full operation of the
different hybrid modes.
Thecharging takes place automatically
when driving. The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
To preser ve the ser vice life of the battery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running.

High voltage
Before doing any work on
the vehicle, switch off the
ignition ( Readylamp off). y
High voltage cables
High voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle (sills); take care not to damage them when the vehicle is used for off-road activity (such as covering rough ground).
Battery precautions
The high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an externalsource 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 removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.
Take care to position lifting equipment(jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
The volta
ge used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Ta k e great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying thecurrent.
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 bestarted.
To restar t the hybrid system, contact a
PE
UGEOT dealer.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orange cables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.

Hybrid system
Fan cooling of the high voltage battery
The high voltage battery has an air coolingsystem, comprising an air intake (located on
the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the
boot trim).
This s
ystem does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the battery may
overheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intake withloose articles, otherwise, thebattery may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system,- do not spill fluids, as this may causedamage to the battery.
