Hybrid system
The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the two power units(Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inver ter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inver ter 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 trans
former conver ts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillary
systems.
Th
e Stop & Star t system - 5
allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during stops (traffic
lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restar ting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and
transparent for the driver.
Th
e electronicgear controlgearbox - 6 provides, in automatic mode, significant 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.

Ignition on without starting
the engine
(accessory position)
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which hasa secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the en
gine management system a few minutesafter the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by a message in the instrument panel screen.In this case, your vehicle does not start; contacta PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Turn the ke
y towards the dashboard to the
intermediate position or with the Keyless Entry
and Star ting key inside the vehicle, press the
"START/STOP" button, with no action on the pedal. This switches on the ignition and so
activates the ancillary equipment.
)Press the "START/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on
but the en
gine does not star t. )Press the button again to switchoff the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.
Using the ancillaries for a long periodintroduces the risk of a flat battery.

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

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).

Hybrid system
Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance. Vehicle acceleration and pick-up aremaximised by using the capacity of the electricmotor, supplementing the power of the Dieselengine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of the
accelerator, the electronic gear control gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Spor t mode:
-
The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode provides additional traction*** at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehiclecontinuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)
operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their couplin
g is managed electronically to
optimise traction on slippery surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, b
y the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.
- The additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres in
particular).
Be aware of the ground clearance of your vehicle: around 184 mm (with the vehicle in working order: driver only and
the fuel tank full) in ideal conditions. This value will vary with vehicle load,the nature of the ground surface and the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehiclecan traverse an obstacle, they assumeentire responsibility for this.

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).
ECO zone
