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.

Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition or take the electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even for
a short time.
Electrical interference
the Keyless en try and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong

Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a Pe ugeOt dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
