Your vehicle is equipped with a system
which keeps it immobile for a short time
(approximately 2 seconds) to assist you
when starting on a hill, the time required
for you to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active:
- when the vehicle has been immobil-
ised completely with your foot on the
brake pedal,
- on certain gradients,
- when the driver's door is closed.
Do not get out of the vehicle
during the hill start assist tem-
porary hold phase.

PRESENTATION
The HYbrid4 technology allows two
sources of energy to be associated in
an effective manner: the Diesel HDi en-
gine, which drives the front wheels and
the electric motor, which drives the rear
wheels.
These two motors can operate alter-
nately or simultaneously, according to
the hybrid mode selected and the driv-
ing conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power
for the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions
Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for
running at slow speed and low load. It
also assists the Diesel engine when
moving off, accelerating and changing
gear.
The battery that powers the electric
motor is recharged during phases of
deceleration and stores the energy for
subsequent use.

Main parts of the HYbrid4 system
The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and pro-
vides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fi tted with the Stop & Start
system - 5
which recharges the batteries and pro-
vides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).
The electric motor - 2
, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or
supplements the Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the
vehicle and is active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
A 200 V NI-MH high voltage battery - 3
, provides a source of energy for the rear
electric motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of decel-
eration.
It is located in a compartment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained
service technicians.
The battery state of charge
is indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending
on the screen).
The conventional battery
, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V
systems. It is recharged automatically by the high voltage network.

The electronic power supervisor - 4
automatically manages the operation of
the two power units (Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inverter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current
coming from the high voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and
270 volts.
The transformer converts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the
vehicle's ancillary systems.
The Stop & Start system - 5
allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby dur-
ing stops (traffi c lights, a stop, or in a traffi c jam, for example) or during phases of
running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instanta-
neous and transparent for the driver.
The electronic gearbox - 6
provides, in automatic mode, signifi cant savings in
fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its elec-
tronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing
the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind
the steering wheel.

How to start your vehicle
- Ensure that the gear lever is in posi-
tion N
.
- Switch the ignition on by turning the
key to position 2
.
If the Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp comes on (ambient tempera-
ture below freezing), wait unit it goes
off before starting.
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal, turn
the ignition key to position 3
to start
up the hybrid system, then release
the key.
- The instrument panel and the Ready
lamp come on. The power meter
needle sweeps through its travel
indicating that the hybrid system
is active, confi rmed by a mes-
sage
; the dial in the centre console
is in AUTO
mode (default mode for
starting).
- The hybrid system determines
whether it is necessary to start the
Diesel engine.
- With the brake still applied, move
the gear lever to position A
to go
forwards or R
(by lifting the lever
slightly) for reverse.
- Lift your foot off the brake pedal, you
can move off.
- The parking brake is released au-
tomatically as you move off, if con-
fi gured to do so (otherwise, release
the parking brake manually).
How to stop your vehicle andthe hybrid system
- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
- Place the gear lever in position N
.
- Turn the ignition key to position 1
,
the parking brake is applied auto-
matically if confi gured to do so.
- Otherwise apply the parking brake
manually, the P
warning lamp must
be on.
For more information, refer to the
"Underbonnet precautions / warnings"
section.
When stationary, switch off the
ignition and ensure that the
Ready
lamp is off before you
leave the vehicle, otherwise
the hybrid system will still be active.
When your vehicle starts in
electric mode, this means
that it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians
as they will not hear you coming.

With the gear selector in position N
,
press the brake pedal and start the hy-
brid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is
ready to move off ("Auto" mode is on by
default) and so the driver can press the
accelerator.
This lamp comes on more or less in-
stantly but may take a few seconds
in some cases (in particular, the time
needed for pre-heating the Diesel en-
gine in cold weather or in energy econ-
omy mode, for example, ...).
READY LAMP
When stationary, switch off the
hybrid system and check that
the Ready
lamp is off when
you leave the vehicle, other-
wise the hybrid system will remain
active.
For more information, refer to the
"Underbonnet precautions / warnings"
section.
