Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric when the heating or air conditioning is operating, is that right?
The demand for heating or air conditioning may require the starting of the Diesel engine until the desired level of comfort is attained. Normal hybrid operation is simply put back. The period can be longer under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is very hot and the air conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for shorter periods. Is that right?
When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel engine 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
QuestionAnswer
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 the engine's cooling system.
Why 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.

Eco-driving suited to your
HYbrid4 vehicle
Use gear selector position A , as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances, and the AUTO mode of the HYbrid4 mode selector. When moving off, accelerate normally up to the desired speed ( POWER zone between 20 and 40 %). At steady speeds, drive gently with small movements of the accelerator pedal ( ECO or CHARGE zone), run in electric mode as often as possible when driving at low speed. Anticipate the need to slow down and use engine braking ( CHARGE zone), so as to make use of free energy recovery while keeping light pressure on the accelerator pedal.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning. Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel. Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

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 charging 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).
The battery is charged when the vehicle decelerates, the electric motor then becomes a generator and converts 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 automatically when required by the alternator-starter motor (Stop & Start) of the Diesel engine.
This recovery allows the use of "free" energy. The battery charging time is very short and is continuous. A discharged battery (following ZEV running or high load, for example) will quickly return to a state of charge sufficient for full operation of the different hybrid modes.
To preserve the service life of the battery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed 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 the wash.
Car washing machines or tunnels in which the Diesel engine must be switched off.
Car washing machines or tunnels in which the Diesel engine must not be switched off.
With the hybrid system active, Readylamp on, parking brake released: - Place the gear selector in position N (Auto or Sport mode). - Press the brake pedal then the ECO OFF button.
If the Diesel engine is not running, it restarts. If the Diesel engine is running, it remains running without time limit.
With the hybrid system active, Readylamp on, parking brake released: - Place the gear selector in position N . - Switch off the engine (press on START/STOP or with the vehicle's key if it does not have Keyless Entry and Starting). The parking brake is applied automatically and the Ready lamp 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 Ready lamp 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 START/STOP without your foot on the brake pedal, or using the key) checking that the parking brake remains released.

Indicator and warning lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched on. When the engine is started, these same warning lamps should go off. If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.
Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash. Certain warning lamps may come on in one of two different modes. Only by relating the type of illumination to the operating status of the vehicle can it be ascertained whether the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred.
