For economical driving, caring for the environment
the fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly :
- a ccording to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),
-
a

ccording to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.
Main recommendations for driving economically
Hybrid mode selector
to optimise fuel consumption, use the Auto mode of the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
th

is mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other
modes, which are for use in particular cases.
Gear lever
use the automatic mode A as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.
Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at
steady speeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible.
Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than
braking.
t
h
e movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows
the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy
consumption. Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.
Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof bars, loaded
or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Observe the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine
servicing.

Main parts of the HYbrid4 system
the HDi Diesel engine - 1, located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the
power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fitted with an alternator-starter motor (Stop & Star t ) - 5 which recharges the batteries and
provides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).
th

e electric motor - 2 , located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or supplements the
Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the vehicle and is
active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
A 200 V NI-MH high voltage batter y - 3 , provides a source of energy for the rear electric motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of deceleration.
It is located in a compartment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained service
technicians.
th

e battery state of charge is indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).
th

e conventional battery , located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is
recharged automatically by the high voltage network.

Ignition on without starting
the engine
(accessory position)
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
the keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
th
is electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a P
e

dealer as soon as possible.

Ready lamp
With the gear selector in position N, press the
brake pedal and start the hybrid system.
th

is lamp comes on when the vehicle is ready
to move off ("Auto" mode is on by default) and
so the driver can press the accelerator.
th

is lamp comes on more or less instantly
but may take a few seconds in some cases
(in particular, the time needed for pre-heating
the Diesel engine in cold weather or in energy
economy mode, for example, ...).

"AUTO" mode
It automatically manages the operation of the
Diesel engine and the electric motor, according
to vehicle parameters, traffic conditions and
driving style so as to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption.
th

is mode activates "zero emissions"
electric running when the conditions allow.
In "A

conditions specific to the vehicle are met
and if acceleration is moderate,

"ZEV" mode
(all electric)
"Zero emissions vehicle" operation is assured
100 % by electric drive.
th
is mode forces silent running at moderate
speeds. If the conditions do not allow this mode,
the message "electric mode is not currently

"SPORT" 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.
th

is mode manages the response of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use
of the electric motor.
In "SPOR
t" m

ode:
-
t
h
e electric motor can be used up to
75 mph (120 km/h).
"4WD" mode*
(Diesel and
electric)
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.
th

eir coupling is managed electronically to
optimise traction when grip is poor.
In 4WD mode:
-

P
ower for the electric motor is provided, if
necessary, by the alternator-starter motor
of the front engine.
t
h
e Diesel engine
operates continuously.
-
t
h
e additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).th is 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 facilitate moving off and
reduce the risk of getting stuck.
th

e addition of "4WD" traction is
available whatever:
-

t
he state of charge of the traction
battery,
-

t
he altitude.
Be aware of the ground clearance of
your vehicle: around 184 mm (with the
vehicle in working order: driver only and
the fuel tank full) in ideal conditions.
th

is value will vary with vehicle load,
the nature of the ground sur face and
the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehicle
can traverse an obstacle, they assume
entire responsibility for this.
* "4WD": 4 Wheel Drive.
**
t
h
is mode will be even more effective if tyres
more suitable for the conditions are fitted
("winter" tyres in particular). When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking pace.
