SPORT mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode
(4 - wheel
drive)
This mode allows more dynamic driving by providing additional performance . By using the capacity of the electric motor to supplement the power of the HDi Diesel engine, the vehicle's full power is used for acceleration and pick-up. This mode manages the response of the accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor. In SPORT mode: - the electric motor as an addition is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This "4-wheel drive" mode provides additional traction * at low speed by driving all four wheels of the vehicle simultaneously: the HDi Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously and permanently. Their coupling is managed electronically to optimise traction when grip is poor. In 4WD mode: - the HDi Diesel engine operates continuously; if necessary, it supplies energy for the electric motor, - the additional traction from the electric motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode should be used on snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...), as well as for crossing a ford, at moderate speed. In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you accelerate strongly to facilitate moving off and making progress and so reduce the risk of getting stuck. The addition of 4WD traction is available whatever: - the state of charge of the 12 V
battery, - t h e a l t i t u d e .
* This mode will be even more effective if the vehicle is fitted with tyres suitable for winter conditions.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions. Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality. On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended. In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the internal combustion engine or electric motor, the electronic gearbox, or the electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users, - place the mode selector in the 4WDposition, - drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h), - do not stop and do not switch off the
engine. On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system! Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...) might come into contact with the hot exhaust system or certain components of the Hybrid4 system which can reach very high temperatures - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the electronic gearbox into position N .

Special conditions for the operation of ZEV mode
ZEV mode can be selected when all of the conditions for its operation are met, in particular an adequate state of charge of the battery (50% at least). In the situations described below, the HDi Diesel must be running; accordingly, ZEVmode cannot be selected or is deactivated automatically. The mode selector remains at or returns to the AUTO position to allow starting of the HDi Diesel engine, as required.
- Manual gear change when in automatic mode using the steering mounted controls for the electronic gearbox.
Cases of non availability of ZEV mode or automatic return
to AUTO mode
- Selection of manual mode by moving the gear selector for the electronic gearbox to position M .
- Sustained and sharp acceleration.
- Use of demisting / defrosting.
- Intensive use of air conditioning.

Weights and towed loads (in kg)
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). ** The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding. To make use of the 300 kg load transfer, the driver must be alone in the vehicle with no luggage in the vehicle.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude. The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
