Automated mode



A
appears in the instrument panel
screen.

The gearbox is then operating in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear, depending on the:


- style of driving,

- profile of the road.

A
or M1
or R
appears in the
instrument panel screen.
)
If the parking brake is released, the vehicle
moves off.

automatic mode is activated, accelerate
progressively.

On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless
the driver acts on the gear lever or the
steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle
is moving.


At very low speed, if reverse gear
is requested, this will only be taken
into account when the vehicle is
immobilised. A warning lamp appears
in the instrument panel screen.
Only engage reverse gear R
when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.
This selective gear change mode enables you
to overtake, for example, while still remaining in
automated mode.


)
Operate the +
or -
steering mounted control
paddle.
The gearbox engages the gear requested if the
engine speed permits. A

It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.


Manual gear changing



A
disappears and the
gears engaged M1...M6

appear successively in the
instrument panel screen. After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic
control of the gears.

Car washing machine or tunnel

button without
your foot on the brake pedal) after having checked that the
parking brake remains released.



If the HDi Diesel engine was on standby, it then restarts.
If the HDi Diesel engine is running, its operation is maintained
without time limit.
With the Hybrid4 system active, READY
lamp on, parking brake
released:


)
Place the gear selector at position N
( AUTO
mode).

)
Press the brake pedal then the " ECO OFF
" button.

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.

Frequently asked questions


100% electric mode (zero emissions)



Question



Answer


Why is it not always possible for me to select ZEV

(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even though the battery
seems well charged? This situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to ZEV mode, 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 " Electric
mode not available: FAP regeneration in progress" ? This is a message which indicates that regeneration of the particle filter (FAP) is in progress.
This 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 Diesel vehicle.
In the case of a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle, this process is not generally noticed by the
driver.
On the other hand, in the case of Hybrid4 this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban use)
as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at inter vals
while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible for me to put the vehicle into ZEV

mode, even though I had just been running electrically
in AUTO
mode? The management of ZEV is different from AUTO
mode.
Changing to ZEV
mode 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 ZEV
mode lower when going uphill? The vehicle needs more energy when going uphill than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in AUTO
mode, which will favour operation of the HDi Diesel engine.
Why is it that the system makes me come out of ZEV

mode; it does not return to ZEV
mode automatically
when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give preference to ZEV
running at any cost, as it is not always the
most economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to AUTO
mode.

Air conditioning / Heating



Question



Answer


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 HDi Diesel
engine until the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal operation of the Hybrid4 system is simply put back. The period can be longer
under very 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 HDi 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 possible to press the " ECO OFF
" button (which brings the vehicle
out of ZEV
mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give
preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).

Miscellaneous



Question



Answer


Is towing possible with my Hybrid4 vehicle? For information on the towing ability of your Hybrid4 vehicle, refer to " Weights and towed
loads" in the "Technical data" section.
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
This limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for the HDi Diesel engine as
well as the components of the Hybrid4 system that are also cooled by the engine's cooling
system.
Why does engine braking seem so strong? If the high voltage battery is not fully charged, the engine braking results mainly from the
energy recovery by the electric motor. The power of this engine braking is higher than that
of an internal combustion engine.
