Emergency starting with the
electronic key
When the electronic key is in the defined zone and your vehicle does not star t after pressingthe "STA R T/STOP" button: )Open the housing below the "START/STOP" button. )Inser t the electronic key in the location A. )Press the "STA R T/STOP" button.
Emergency switch- off using theelectronic key
In the event of an emergency only, the engine can be switched of without conditions. To do
this, press and hold the "START/STOP" button
for about 3 seconds.
In this case the steering column locks as soon
as the vehicle stops.
if the electronic key is no longer in the defined zone when you request switching off the engine,
a message appears in the instrument panel.
) Press and hold the "STA R T/STOP" buttonfor about 3 seconds if you want to force switching off the engine (note that restarting
will not be possible without the key).
Electronic key not recognised bythe "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system
If the electronic key is no longer in the defined
zone when driving or when you (later) request switching off of the hybrid system, a message
appears in the instrument panel.
Once the engine has started, you can remove the electronic key and close thehousing.
)Press and hold the "STA R T/STOP" button for about 3 seconds if you want to forceswitching off of the hybrid system (note that restarting will not be possible without theelectronic key in the defined zone).
The electronic key must always remaininside the vehicle while in use.

Examples of displays
On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy (the Stop & Star t system stops and restar ts the Diesel engine automatically).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off theaccelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by the rear wheels.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal, deceleration will then be less marked than
with
a conventional vehicle.
100% electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electricmotor, powered by the battery, drives the rear wheels.
The display of "Zero Emission" indicates that the Diesel engine
is off and the vehicle is producing no CO2.

Reducing consumption - Fuel
QuestionAnswer
How can I optimise m
y fuel consumption? Give preference to Auto mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to
use in order to reduce fuel consumption.
You should also adapt your driving style to the special features of hybrid vehicles to get the
best out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking and by anticipating decelerations (entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt
signs, ...).
Wh
y do I not manage to reduce my fuel consumptioneven though I often drive in ZEV (Zero EmissionsVehicle) mode? It is not ZEV mode but Auto mode that is the most appropriate for reducin
g fuelconsumption, as it selects the best "driving energy source".
ZEV mode (10 0% electric operation) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However,recharging the traction battery has an energy cost.
This is why we recommend using Auto mode more often.
Wh
y does the trip computer sometimes display the
bars for 28 mpg (10 litres) consumption in town?The current fuel consumption displayed may appear high when the distance covered is
very low, but this generally has very little impact and the true average fuel consumption willremain low.
In town, your hybrid retains very good fuel economy (of the order of 35% better than a non-hybrid vehicle).
Wh
y is my battery rarely fully charged? A par tly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in Auto mode).
This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery for energy when going downhill or
taking when your foot off the accelerator.
Wh
y are there so may fuel aler t messages whenstarting to use the reser ve?To e n c o u r age you to refuel as soon as possible and avoid the loss of hybrid functions.

ECO OFF switch
This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that a comfor table temperature can be maintained in
the passenger compar tment (air conditioningrunning continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine restar ts
immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the switch
a
gain.
After switching off the ignition, the vehicle will
return to normal operation (lamp in the switch off).
*
Except in ZEV mode, which favours electricrunning over assuring a comfortable
temperature. Durin
g electric running and when the engine is
stopped, the hybrid system manages restarting automatically to assure comfor t levels in thepassenger compartment * .However, variations in temperature may stillbe felt in very hot climates. To avoid any
discomfort in these conditions you can operate
the E
CO OFF switch.

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 Hydride)
and is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicledecelerates, the electric motor then becomesa generator and conver ts kinetic energy into
electrical energy (except 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 automaticallywhen required by the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very shor t and iscontinuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or
high load, for example) will quickly return to astate of charge sufficient for full operation of the
different hybrid modes.
Thecharging takes place automatically
when driving.
The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so
preserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
To preser ve the ser vice life of the battery, the level of charge never fallsbelow 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars isdisplayed after ZEV running. Where the battery is close to maximum,vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.

Car washing machine or tunnel
Some car washing machines or tunnels (where the vehicle is moved for wards on a travelling track) require that the parking brake be "released" during
th
e wash.
Car washing machines or tunnels in which theDiesel engine must be switched off.
With the hybrid system active, Readylamp on, parking brakereleased:- Place the gear selector in position N.- Switch off the engine (press on STA R T/STOP or with thevehicle's key if it does not have Keyless Entry and Starting).The parking brake is applied automatically and the Readylamp goes off in the instrument panel.- Switch on the ignition again (press on START/STOP or with
the key in the intermediate position) without your foot on the brake pedal. The Readylamp 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 STA R T/STOP without your foot on the brake pedal, or using the key) checking that the parking brake remains released.
With the hybrid system active, Ready

- Place the gear selector in position N
(Auto or Sport mode).
- Press the brake pedal then the ECO OFF button.
Car washing machines or tunnels in which the Diesel engine must not be switched off.
