HYBRID4 MODE SELECTOR
AUTO Mode
"Zero emissions vehicle" operation is
provided by 100% electric drive.
This mode allows silent running to be
imposed at moderate speed (urban,
parking, …).
This mode can be activated when con-
ditions permit (in particular if the state
of charge of the high voltage battery is
high enough) and allows driving up to
around 35 mph (60 km/h).
ZEV mode(Zero Emissions Vehicle)
When stationary and when starting
the hybrid system
This mode automatically manages the
operation of the Diesel engine and the
electric motor, separately or together,
according to the vehicle's own inherent
parameters, the driving conditions and
the driving style.
The standard mode to use
in preference for optimum
fuel consumption.
This mode is activated automatically
on starting the vehicle.
In particular, this mode will activate "zero
emissions" electric operation when the
conditions permit.
The electric motor is also used to supple-
ment the Diesel engine when moving off
and changing gear and when the front
wheels do not provide suffi cient traction.
The range depends on the
state of charge of the battery
and the driving conditions (of
the order of 1.2 miles (2 km)
in favourable conditions).
In this mode, the average battery charge
is 4 to 5 bars, so as to preserve a mar-
gin of energy recovery on deceleration
or going downhill (free energy).

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available
The internal combustion engine may
restart or ZEV mode may not be avail-
able in the various conditions present-
ed below.
The internal combustion engine can
be switched off automatically as soon
as these conditions are lifted.
When the conditions described below
cause the vehicle to come out of ZEV
mode and the Diesel engine to restart,
the vehicle automatically changes to
AUTO mode.
Action by the driver
- Moving the gear selector to posi-
tion M
.
- Action on steering mounted control
paddles to change gear.
- Sustained and sharp acceleration.
- Use of demisting.
- Use of air conditioning.
Maintaining the performance of the
system
- When the vehicle exceeds 18 mph
(30 km/h) after moving off (if the in-
ternal combustion engine has not
already started since the vehicle
was last started).
- If the high voltage battery is not
suffi ciently charged. A minimum of
4 bars in ZEV mode so as to en-
sure operation over a certain dis-
tance (in AUTO, electric operation
is accessible for a shorter period
with a lower level of charge).
- When the fuel level enters the
reserve zone (where rate of con-
sumption of this reserve is high,
ZEV inhibition may continue for
some time after refuelling).
- During regeneration of the particle
emissions fi lter, which occurs auto-
matically for 5 to 10 minutes, approxi-
mately every 300 miles (500 kms)
(or less in extended urban running).
Diffi cult weather conditions and
circumstances
- If certain conditions or engine
temperature requirements make
it necessary (such as an engine
temperature that is too low for the
ambient conditions).
- When the battery is close to maxi-
mum charge (for example: when
going down a long hill), because
engine recovery being no longer
possible, the internal combustion
engine restarts automatically just
to provide engine braking.
- If the vehicle encounters a steep
slope (car park ramp, ...).
- If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun for a prolonged period.
- When driving in mountainous con-
ditions (altitude).
Your vehicle is fi tted with the most ef-
fective emissions control systems, in
particular the Particle Emissions Fil-
ter (PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel en-
gine will produce energy for the self-
cleaning of this fi lter.
During this PEF regeneration phase,
electric running is purposely made
unavailable.

the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Low fuel
level
fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 6 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every
time the ignition is switched on, until a
suffi cient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity : approximately 56.5 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out
of fuel, as this could damage the emission
control and injection systems.
