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.

Interior
Interior mood lighting
this subdued passenger compartment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low light
conditions.
Head-up display
this system projects speed and cruise control/
speed limiter information onto a smoked strip
in the driver's field of vision, so that they do not
need to take their eyes off the road.
Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfort, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.
Audio and communication system
this system benefits from the latest
technology: MP3 compatible audio system,
uS

B player, Bluetooth hands-free system,
satellite navigation system with colour screen,
auxiliary inputs, Hi-Fi audio system, ...
Dual-zone
Quad-zone If your vehicle is fitted with a
JBL Hi-Fi audio system, this
is designed specifically for the
passenger compartment of your
vehicle.
Refer to the "Audio and telematics"
section.

Examples of displays
On starting and when stationary
there is no flow of energy (the Stop & Start system stops and
restarts the Diesel engine automatically).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by the
electric motor/generator, then being driven by the rear wheels.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal, deceleration will then be less marked than
with a conventional vehicle.
100% electric
In all electric running (Au tO o r ZeV m odes), only the electric
motor, powered by the battery, drives the rear wheels.
th

e display of "Zero e
m
ission" indicates that the Diesel engine
is off and the vehicle is producing no CO
2.

HYbrid4 frequently asked questions
ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode
QuestionAnswer
Why is it not always possible for me to put the vehicle
into Z
eV (

Zero
e
m

issions Vehicle) mode even though
the battery is well charged?
th

is situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to Z
eV m

ode, even if the battery
has sufficient charge, such as, for example, very cold conditions, altitude, demisting, high
demand for heating or air conditioning, regeneration of the particle filter (FAP).
Why do I sometimes see an alert message "
el

ectric
mode not available: FAP regeneration in progress"?
th

is is an message relating to the regeneration of the particle filter (FAP). t
h
is is a
completely normal process that takes place every 240 or 300 miles (400 or 500 km)
(or more frequently in prolonged urban use), as on a conventional HDi vehicle.
th

is process is not generally noticed by the driver.
On the other hand, in the case of a hybrid, this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban
use) as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at
intervals while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible for me to put the vehicle into
Z
eV m

ode, even though I had just been running
electrically in Auto mode?
th

e management of Z
eV i
s different from Auto mode.
Changing to Z
eV m

ode is only possible with a battery charge of at least 4 bars, in order to
assure sufficient range.
In Auto mode, the system alone manages the conditions for changing temporarily to electric
mode, for shorter periods and with a lower state of charge of the battery.
Why is the range in Z
eV (

Zero e
m
issions Vehicle)
mode lower when climbing?
th

e vehicle needs more energy when climbing than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in Auto mode, which will favour operation of the Diesel engine.
Why is it that the system makes me come out of Z
eV
(

Zero
e
m

issions Vehicle) mode; it does not return to
Z
eV a

utomatically when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give preference to Z
eV r

unning at any cost, as it is not always the most
economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to Auto mode.

Reducing consumption - Fuel
QuestionAnswer
How can I optimise my fuel consumption?
gi
ve preference to Auto mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to
use in order to reduce fuel consumption.
You should also adapt your driving style to the characteristics of hybrid vehicles to get the
best out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking
and by anticipating decelerations (entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt
signs, ...).
Why do I not manage to reduce my fuel consumption
even though I often drive in Z
eV (

Zero e
m
issions
Vehicle) mode? It is not Z
eV m

ode but Auto mode that is the most appropriate for reducing fuel
consumption, as it selects the best "driving energy source".
Z
eV m

ode (100% electric operation) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However,
recharging the traction battery has an energy cost.
th

is is why we recommend using Auto mode more often.
Why does the trip computer sometimes display the
bars for 28 mpg (10 litres) consumption in town?
th

e current fuel consumption displayed may appear high when the distance covered is
very low, but this generally has very little impact and the true average fuel consumption will
remain low.
In town, your hybrid retains very good fuel economy (of the order of 35% better than a
non-hybrid vehicle).
Why is my battery rarely fully charged? A partly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in Auto mode).
th

is allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery for energy when going downhill or
taking when your foot off the accelerator.
Why are there so may fuel alert messages when
starting to use the reserve?
to e

ncourage you to refuel as soon as possible and avoid the loss of hybrid functions.
