HYbrid4 mode selector
The selector allows the user to choose between 4 drive modes for the vehicle. Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the corresponding i n d i c a t o r.
ZEV mode, to force electric running.
Sport mode, to make use of the maximum per formance of the vehicle.
4WD mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.
AUTO mode, for normal use and optimised fuel consumption.

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving by providing additional performance . Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are maximised by using the capacity of the electric motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel engine. This mode manages the progressiveness of the accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor. In Sport mode: - The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional traction *** at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously and permanently. Their coupling is managed electronically to optimise traction on slippery sur faces. In 4WD mode: - Power for the electric motor is provided, if needed, by the alternator-starter motor of the front engine. The Diesel engine operates continuously. - The additional traction from the electric motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
** 4WD: 4 Wheel Drive. *** This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres in particular).
This mode should be used on snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you accelerate strongly to ensure that you move off and avoid any risk of getting stuck. The addition of 4WD traction is available whatever: - the state of charge of the traction battery, - the altitude.

Hybrid modes
1. Hybrid mode selected (AUTO, ZEV, SPORT, 4WD). 2. Messages, e.g.: "Zero Emission" if the Diesel engine is off (0 g/km CO2).
Operation / Energy flows
6. The Diesel engine supplies the battery (if needed). 7. Arrow from left to right: the battery powers the electric motor (when the electric motor is operating). Arrow from right to left: the electric motor/generator recharges the battery (energy recovery phases). 8. The Diesel engine drives the front wheels. 9. The electric motor drives the rear wheels.
Vehicle infrastructure
3. Diesel engine. 4. Traction battery state of charge. 5. Electric Motor/Generator.
Information on the active hybrid mode, arrows for energy flows and the state of charge of the battery, is displayed in the instrument panel screen or the screen.

Practical information
208
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to spare wheels.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle. For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. It is recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Advice on installation
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road. Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle. Switch off the ignition and ensure that the "READY" lamp is off in the instrument panel. Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
The use of snow chains is only authorised on the front wheels. The selector must be in 4WD mode.
