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.

High voltage
Before doing any work on
the vehicle, switch off the

when the vehicle is used for off-road activity
(such as covering rough ground).
Battery precautions
the high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an external
source and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
th

ere is the risk of serious burns, as well as
electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,
so that its recycling presents no risk to the
environment.
ta

ke care to position lifting equipment
( jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided
to avoid damaging the cables.
th

e voltage used for the operation of the
electric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
ta

ke great care regarding the high voltage and
high temperatures of components carrying the
current.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off system
blocks the high voltage current and cuts off
the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be
started.
