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, ...).
HYbrid4 mode selector
"AutO" mode, for everyday use and optimised
fuel consumption.
"Z

" mode, to force electric running. "SPORt" m

performance of the vehicle.
"4WD" mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.
When stationary, switch off the hybrid
system and check that the Ready

otherwise the hybrid system will remain
active.

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.

Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric
when the heating or air conditioning is operating, is
that right?
the
demand for heating or air conditioning may require the starting of the Diesel engine
until the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal hybrid operation is simply put back.
t
h
e period can be longer under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is very hot and the air
conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for
shorter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel engine is put on standby and the vehicle runs on
electric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the temperature in
the vehicle and the level of comfort selected.
In very hot weather, it is always possible to press the
e
c
o OFF button (which brings the
vehicle out of Z
eV m

ode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give
preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
Special HYbrid4 features
Question Answer
Can I tow with my hybrid vehicle and how much? A HYbrid4 vehicle can tow between 500 kg and 800 kg (see the "
to
wing" section).
th

is allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
th

e "technical" reason for the limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for
the internal combustion engine as well as the hybrid components that are also cooled by the
engine's cooling system.
Why does engine braking seem so strong? When you take your foot off the accelerator, the engine braking results mainly from the
energy recovery by the electric motor.
th

is leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the
recovery of free energy.

Diesel engine
pre-heating fixed.
th

e START/STOP switch has
been pressed (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
Once it goes off, starting is immediate, on condition that the brake
pedal remains pressed with an automatic or electronic gearbox, or
the clutch pedal is pressed fully down with a manual gearbox.
th

e period of illumination of the warning lamp is determined by
the ambient conditions (up to about thirty seconds in severe winter
conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and then on, wait
until the warning lamp goes off again, then start the engine.
Parking brake fixed.
th

e parking brake is applied or
not properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning lamp, keeping
your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For further information on the parking brake, refer to the "Parking
brake" section.
Deactivation of
the automatic
functions of the
electric parking
brake fixed.
th

e "automatic application" (on
switching off the engine) and
"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function (according to country) via the vehicle
configuration menu or contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop if automatic application / release is not possible.
For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
