ECO OFF switch
This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that a comfor table temperature can be maintained in
the passenger compar tment (air conditioningrunning continuously).On pressing the switch, the engine restar ts
immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the switch
again.
After switching off the ignition, the vehicle will return to normal operation (lamp in the switch off).
*
Except in ZEV mode, which favours electric
running over assuring a comfortable
temperature.
During electric running and when the engine is
stopped, the hybrid system manages restarting
automatically to assure comfor t levels in the
passenger compartment * .
However, variations in temperature may still be felt in very hot climates. To avoid anydiscomfor t in these conditions you can operate
the ECO OFF switch.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Eco-driving suited to your
Hybrid4 vehicle
Use gear selector position A , as thisoptimises gear changes to suit the circumstances, and the AUTOmode of theHybrid4 mode selector.When moving off, accelerate normally up tothe desired speed ( POWER
zone between20 and 40 %). At steady speeds, drive gently with smallmovements of the accelerator pedal (ECOor CHARGEzone), run in electric mode as oftenas possible when driving at low speed. Anticipate the need to slow down and useengine braking ( CHARGE
zone), so as to make use of free energy recovery while keeping light pressure on the accelerator pedal.
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents beforeusing the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windowsand leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compar tment down (sun roof andwindow blinds...).Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehiclewill warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.
Control the use of your electrical equipment

200 V high voltage battery
The 200 V high voltage battery cannot berecharged from a mains supply.
The battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becomes
a
generator and conver ts 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 b
y the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very shor t and iscontinuous.
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.
The charging takes place automaticallywhen driving.
The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, sopreserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never fallsbelow 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running. Where the battery is close to maximum, vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.

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.

Activation
When the lighting is on:
)press the button to change the brightness
of the instruments and controls, )when the level of brightness required isreached, release the button.
Deactivation
When the lighting is off, or in day mode on

travelled by the vehicle during its life.
The total and trip distances are displayed for

Safety anti-pinch
In automatic mode and at the end of its travel,
if the blind meets an obstacle while closing it stops and moves back slightly.
If the blind stops and immediatel
y opens again
during a closing manoeuvre:
) operate the control until the blind is fully open, )
then operate the control until the blind is fully closed. The safety anti-pinch function is not operational during these operations.
If the blind meets an obstacle during operation, you must reverse the movement of the blind. To do this, press the control concerned. When the driver operates the blind control, they must ensure that no one ispreventing correct closing of the blind.
The driver must ensure that passengersuse the blind correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the blind.
Reinitialisation
If power to the blind is cut off while it is moving,
the safety anti-pinch must be reinitialised: )operate the control until the blind is fully closed, )continue to press for at least 3 seconds.
A slight movement of the blind will then be
noticeable, confirming the reinitialisation.
