If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, automatic application / release is
deactivated. The parking brake must
be applied and released manually. y
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
the the brake warning lamp and the Pwarning lamp in the control lever Aare on fixed (not flashing).

If towing a trailer or caravan or if theslope might vary (transpor t by boat or lorry, recovery of the vehicle...) make a maximum application of the parking brake - by making a long pull on the
control lever A
- to immobilise thevehicle.
Driving safely
Electric parking brake
Manual Application/Release
Manual applicationof the parking brake is possible by pulling
the control lever A.With the ignition on, manual release
of the parking brake is possible by pressing the brake pedal
and pulling
then releasing
the control lever A
.
If an audible signal is heard on opening the driver's door with the hybrid system active, apply the parking brake
manually. Do not leave a child alone in the vehiclewith the ignition on; they might releasethe parking brake.
Automatic Application / Release
Press the accelerator pedal, the parking brake
is released automatically and progressively as you move off.
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is applied automatically on switching off the
ignition (Readylamp off).

Switching off the Hybrid4
s
ystem
- Before switching off the Hybrid4 system,place the gear selector in position N.
- Make a shor t press on the START/STOPbutton.
- The s
ystem shuts down and the steeringcolumn locks.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be ver y careful of pedestrians as they will not hear you coming.
For more information, see the section on "Underbonnet precautions/warnings".
When stationary, switch off the ignitionand check that the Ready
lamp is off before leaving the vehicle, other wisethe hybrid system will still be active.

Hybrid system
Hybrid4 mode selector
The selector allows the user to choose between 4 drive modes for the vehicle.
Turn the dial to the ri
ght or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the corresponding indicator.
ZEVmode, to force electric runnin
g.Spor
tmode, to make use of the maximum
performance of the vehicle.
4WDmode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.
AUTOmode, for normal use and optimised fuelconsumption.
On star ting the vehicle: with the gear selector in position N, press the brake pedal and press
the STA R T/STOP button to activate the hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is ready
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 or, for example,
in energy economy mode, ...).
Ready lamp
With the vehicle stationary, press the STA R T/STOP button and check that the Readylamp is off when leaving thevehicle, other wise the hybrid system will still be active.
For more information, refer to the section on "Underbonnet precautions / warnings".

Hybrid system
Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance.Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of theaccelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional traction
***
at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically tooptimise traction on slippery surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, by the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.
- The additional traction from the electricmotor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
In ZEV m
ode:
- 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.I
f the conditions do not allow this mode, a message that the "electricmode is not currently available"appears in the screen. The ZEV
warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off and the selector comes on in AUTO.
This mode should be used on snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommendedthat you accelerate strongly to ensure that you move off and avoid any risk of getting stuck.The addition of 4WD traction is available whatever:- the state of charge of the tractionbattery, - the altitude.
For more information on "Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode not available", refer to the corresponding section.

4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.

This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres in
particular).

The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an external source and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f 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.
High voltage
The voltage 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 andhigh temperatures of components carrying the current.
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 be started.
To restar t the hybrid system, contact a CITROËN dealer.
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).
Be
fore doing any workon the vehicle, switch off the ignition (Readylamp off).
Battery precautions
Hi
gh voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment(jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orange cables or connectors, even in the eventof an accident.

Underbonnet precautions / warnings
The alternator-star ter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restar ting at any time.
Alwa
ys ensure that the
ignition is switched off (Readylamp off) before
opening the bonnet.
Also ensure that the ignition is switchedoff when refuelling to avoid the engine restarting.

Monitoring
Indicator and warning lamps
When the engine is star ted, these same warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of cer tain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
messa
ge in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come on inone of two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the operation of the vehicle can itbe determined whether the situation is normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information.
Visual indicators in
forming the driver that asystem is in operation, switched off or has a fault.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.
