200 V HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
The 200 V high voltage battery cannot
be recharged from a mains supply.
The battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hy-
dride) and is located below the boot
fl oor, close to the electric motor.
Charging
The charging takes place automati-
cally when driving
.
The energy recovery can be faster dur-
ing deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to
5 bars, so preserving a margin for en-
ergy recovery when deceleration of go-
ing downhill (free energy).
The battery is charged when the vehi-
cle decelerates, the electric motor then
becomes a generator and converts ki-
netic energy into electrical energy (ex-
cept 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 auto-
matically when required by the Stop &
Start system of the Diesel engine.
To preserve the service life of
the battery, the level of charge
never falls below 20 %, even
if a level of 0 bars is displayed
after ZEV running.
Where the battery is close to maxi-
mum, vehicle deceleration with your
foot off the accelerator pedal will be
at a lower level.
This recovery allows the use of "free"
energy.
The battery charging time is very short
and is continuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV
running or high load, for example) will
quickly return to a state of charge suf-
fi cient for full operation of the different
hybrid modes.

CAR WASHING MACHINE OR TUNNEL
Some car washing ma-
chines or tunnels (where
the vehicle is moved
forwards on a travel-
ling track) require that
the parking brake be
"released" during the
wash.
Car washing machines or tunnels
in which the Diesel engine must be
switched off.
Car washing machines or tunnels in
which the Diesel engine must not be
switched off.
If the Diesel engine is not running, it
restarts.
If the Diesel engine is running, it re-
mains running without time limit.
With the hybrid system active,
Ready
lamp on, parking brake
released:
- Place the gear selector in position N
.
- Switch off the engine (press on
START/STOP or with the vehicle's
key if it does not have Keyless Entry
and Starting). The parking brake is
applied automatically and the Ready
lamp goes off in the instrument panel.
- Switch on the ignition again (press on
START/STOP or with the key in the in-
termediate position) without your foot
on the brake pedal. The Ready
lamp
remains off.
- Release the parking brake using the
manual control on the centre console,
while keeping your foot on the brake
pedal.
- Switch off the ignition (press on
START/STOP without your foot on the
brake pedal, or using the key) check-
ing that the parking brake remains re-
leased.
With the hybrid system active,
Ready
lamp on, parking brake
released:
- Place the gear selector in posi-
tion N
(Auto or Sport mode).
- Press the brake pedal then the
ECO OFF button.

INDICATOR AND WARNING LAMPS
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a

is switched on.
When the engine is started, 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 illumination of certain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come
on continuously (fi xed) or fl ash.
Certain warning lamps may
come on in one of two different
modes. Only by relating the type of
illumination to the operating status
of the vehicle can it be ascertained
whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.
Visual indicators informing the driver
that a system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the
