Hybrid system
Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It
seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electricwhen the heating or air conditioning is operating, is
that right? The demand for heatin
g or air conditioning may require the star ting of the Diesel engine until
the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal hybrid operation is simply put back. The period can be higher under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is ver
y hot and the air conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for shor ter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel en
gine is put on standby and the vehicle runs on electric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the temperature in
the vehicle and the level of comfort selected.
In very hot weather, it is always possible to press the Eco OFF button (which brings the
vehicle out of ZEV mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give
preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
Special HYbrid4 features
Question Answer

Can I tow with my hybrid vehicle and how much? A HYbrid4 vehicle can tow between 500 kg and 800 kg (see the "Towing" section).
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
The "technical" reason for the limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for
the internal combustion engine as well as the hybrid components that are also cooled by theengine's cooling system.
Wh
y does engine braking seem so strong? When you take your foot off the accelerator, the engine braking results mainly from the energy recovery by the electric motor.
This leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the recovery of free energy.

Hybrid system
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.



When refuelling, do not continue after the 3rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that youwill see the fuel consumption settle down to aconsistent average.

Driving
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system. In th
e event of a malfunction
of the system, when reversegear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
