Sport mode
(Diesel and electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing 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 progressive-
ness of the accelerator, 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 trac-
tion
*** 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) op-
erate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electroni-
cally to optimise traction on slippery
surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is pro-
vided, if needed, by the alternator-
starter motor of the front engine.
The Diesel engine operates continu-
ously.
- The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 75 mph
(120 km/h).
This mode should be used on
snow covered roads or diffi cult
ground (mud, sand, ...).
In this mode, in severe conditions
and if the circumstances allow, it is
recommended that you accelerate
strongly to ensure that you move off
and avoid any risk of getting stuck.
**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***
This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).

Also ensure that the ignition is
switched off when refuelling to
avoid the engine restarting.
UNDERBONNETPRECAUTIONS / WARNINGS
The alternator-starter motor of your hy-
brid vehicle is also supplied at high volt-
age. If the vehicle ignition has not been
switched off, there is a risk of the engine
restarting at any time.
Always ensure that
the ignition is switched
off ( Ready
lamp off)
before opening the
bonnet.
The high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an ex-
ternal source and must only be handled
by a workshop technician.
There is the risk of 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 re-
moved in an appropriate manner by a
repair workshop, so that its recycling
presents no risk to the environment.
Emergency cut-off
Battery precautions
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 restart the hybrid system, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
