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.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). u
s
e a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. When refuelling, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record. At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you
will see the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector in
position N, then switch off the hybrid system ( Ready lamp off).
Always call on a professional for the recovery of your vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer. Never recover the vehicle by towing it with the wheels on the ground (neither the front wheels, nor
the rear wheels), as there is a risk of damage to the transmission.

instrument panel. If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see a message and an audible signal
is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
-
i
n the case of a vehicle towing a trailer,
if the automatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking brake
manually,
-
w
hen the slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).
Maximum application
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever


A are on fixed (not flashing).

-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- t he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the other vehicles must be less
than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
th

e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
the function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by P
