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".

Hybrid4 frequently asked questions
ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode
QuestionAnswer
Why is it not always possible
for me to put the
vehicle into ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even though the battery is well charged? This situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to ZEV mode, even if the battery hassufficient charge, such as, for example, very cold conditions, altitude, demisting, high demand for heating or air conditioning, regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter (PEF).
Wh
y do I sometimes see an aler t message "Electric mode not available: PEF regeneration
in progress"? This is an messa
ge relating to the regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter (PEF). This is acompletely normal process that takes place every 240 or 300 miles (400 or 500 km) (or more
frequently in prolonged urban use), as on a conventional HDi vehicle.
This process is not generally noticed by the driver.
On the other hand, in the case of a hybrid, this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban use)
as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at intervals while
regeneration is in progress.
Wh
y is it not possible for me to put the vehicle
into ZEV mode, even though I had just beenrunning electrically in Auto mode? The mana
gement of ZEV is different from Auto mode.
Changing to ZEV mode is only possible with a battery charge of at least 4 bars, in order to assure sufficient range.
In Auto mode, the system alone manages the conditions for changing temporarily to electric mode, for shorter periods and with a lower state of charge of the battery.
Wh
y is the range in ZEV (Zero Emissions
Vehic le) mode lower when climbing? The vehicle needs more energy when climbing than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in Auto mode, which will favour operation of the Diesel engine.
Why is it that the system makes me come out o
f
ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode; it does notreturn to ZEV automatically when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give pre
ference to ZEV running at any cost, as it is not always the most economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to Auto mode.

Hybrid system
Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric when the heating or air conditioning is
operatin
g, is that right?
The demand for heating or air conditioning may require the star ting of the Diesel engine until thedesired level of comfort is attained.
Normal h
ybrid operation is simply put back. The period can be longer under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is ver
y hot and the
air conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for shor ter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel en
gine is put on standby and the vehicle runs onelectric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the temperature in the
vehicle and the level of comfort selected.
In very hot weather, it is always possible to press the Eco OFF button (which brings the vehicle out of ZEV mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give preference to
temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
Special Hybrid4 features
QuestionAnswer
Can I tow with m
y hybrid vehicle and how much? A Hybrid4 vehicle can tow between 500 kg and 800 kg (see the "Towing" section).
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
The "technical" reason for the limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for the internal combustion engine as well as the hybrid components that are also cooled by the engine's cooling system.
Wh
y does engine braking seem so strong? When you take your foot off the accelerator, the engine braking results mainly from the energyrecovery by the electric motor.
This leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the recoveryof free energy.
61Monitoring
Rear foglamps
fixed. The rear foglamps are switched on. Turn the ring on the stalk rear wards to switch off the
rear foglamps.
Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations
Diesel engine pre-heating fixed. The STA R T/STOP
switch has been pressed (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before star ting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in extreme conditions).
If the engine does not star t, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.
Electric parking brake
fixed. The electric parking brake is applied. Release the electric parking brake to switch off the
warning lamp: with your foot on the brake pedal, pull
the electric parking brake control lever.
Obser ve the safety recommendations.
For more information on the electric parking brake,
refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivation of the automatic functions of the electric parkingbrake
fixed. The "automatic application" (on switching off the engine) and
"automatic release" functions aredeactivated or faulty.
Activate the function (according to country) via the
vehicle configuration menu or contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic
application / release is not possible.
The parking brake can be released manually using the emergency release procedure.
For more information on the electric parking brake,
refer to the corresponding section.
