200 V high voltage battery
the 200 V high voltage battery cannot be
recharged from a mains supply.
th
e 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 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)).
th

e battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
th

e battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the alternator-starter motor
(Stop & Start) of the Diesel engine.
th
is recovery allows the use of "free" energy.
th

e battery charging time is very short and is
continuous.
A discharged battery (following Z
eV r
unning
or high load, for example) will quickly return to
a state of charge sufficient for full operation of
the different hybrid modes.
The charging takes place automatically
when driving .
th
e energy recovery can be faster during
deceleration.th e average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so
preserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
to p

reserve the service life of the
battery, the level of charge never falls
below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is
displayed after Z
eV r

unning.
Where the battery is close to maximum,
vehicle deceleration with your foot
off the accelerator pedal will be at a
lower


level.

underbonnet precautions / warnings
Always ensure that the
ignition is switched off
(Ready lamp off) before
opening the bonnet.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, to avoid the risk of serious
injury switch off the ignition and verify
that the Ready lamp in the dashboard
is of f.
Also ensure that the ignition is switched
off when refuelling to avoid the engine
restarting.
th

e alternator-starter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restarting at any time.
