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








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.

Visibility

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dippedheadlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid dischargingthe battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed byregulations, by illumination of the dippedbeam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps.

- for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.

This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicleconfiguration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lightingcontrol stalk.

unction that can be set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
LED lamps

They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the destination country, they are used for:


- daytime running lamps *
in day mode andsidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps),
or


- sidelamps in day and night mode.
Where LED lamps are fitted, the filament bulbs
for the da
ytime running lamps/sidelamps in the front lamp units are not used.

Safety
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between theoccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories"). Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injuryto the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.Do not sit with the upper par t of the body anynearer to the door than necessary.


Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the cur tain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove thegrab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

12 V battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for star ting the engine using another battery.
The presence of this label indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting thebattery. Failure to observe this recommendationmay cause premature wear of thebattery.


After refitting the battery, the Stop &Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of thebattery (up to about 8 hours).
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch, ) remove the plastic cover to gain access to
the two terminals,) unclip the fusebox to remove the battery, if necessary.



Access to the battery


Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition (Ready
lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 Vbattery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the high voltage battery used by the hybridsystem.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system,
recharging from another conventional 12 V
battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.

)Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-). )Check that the terminals and connectorsare clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove themand clean them.


Charging the battery using
a battery charger
)
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the
positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery B.) Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of theslave battery B.)
Connect the other end of the green or blackcable to the ear th point C
on your vehicle (engine mounting).)
Operate the star ter, let the engine run.)
Wait until the engine returns to idle and disconnect the cables.

)Raise the locking tab fully.
Disconnecting the cables
Reconnecting the cables
)Position the open clip 1of the cable on the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
)Press ver tically on the clip 1to position itcorrectly against the battery. )Lock the clip by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab 2.

Do not force the tab as locking will not
be possible if the clip is not positioned correctly; star t the procedure again.

Do not attempt to charge the high voltage battery.

01 First steps - Control panel


For safety reasons, the driver must carry out operations
which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the en
gine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the system switches off following the activation of the energy economy mode.
