The electronic power super visor (4)
manages the operation of the two power units,
HDi Diesel and electric, giving priority to low
fuel consumption.
The alternator-star ter motor (5)
assures
the Stop & Start
function, which allows the
HDi Diesel engine to be put into standby when
the vehicle is at a standstill (traffic lights, a
stop, or in a traffic jam...) or during phases of
running in 100% electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the HDi Diesel
engine is done automatically and instantly
without any action on the part of the driver.
This alternator-starter motor also provides
additional charging of the high-voltage battery
by the HDi Diesel engine, if this not sufficiently
charged, or in 4WD
mode for example.
The 12 V batter y
, located under the bonnet,
powers the vehicle's conventional electrical
system. It is used for starting the HDi Diesel
engine and the operation of the vehicle's
equipment, such as the lighting, wipers, audio
system...
This 12 V battery is recharged automatically by
the high voltage network.

7Hybrid4 system
Compared to a manual gearbox, the ETG6
electronic gearbox (6)
provides, in automatic
mode, significant savings in fuel consumption,
through the electronic management of gear
changes.
The mode selector (8)
allows selection of the
four operating modes offered by the Hybrid4
system:
- AUTO
mode, which optimises fuel
consumption by automatically managing
the alternate or simultaneous use of the
two motors,
- ZEV
(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, which
provides 100% electric drive, when the
driving conditions and the state of charge
of the battery permit,
- SPORT
mode, which provides more
dynamic driving with additional
performance,
- 4WD
(4 Wheel Drive) mode, which
improves traction at low speed when grip is
poor (snow, mud, sand...).

9Hybrid4 system
When the Hybrid4 system is
started, this indicator lamp
comes on to signal that the
vehicle is ready to move off.
Illumination of this indicator lamp is more or
less instant but may take a few seconds in
some cases (pre-heating the HDi Diesel engine
in cold weather or in energy economy mode...).
READY lamp
Never leave the Hybrid4 system on
when leaving the vehicle, or opening
the bonnet, refuelling...
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that
the READY
lamp is off.
This allows the high voltage battery to be
recharged using "free" energy
which can then
be reused
for future energy requirements.
CHARGE zone
POWER zone
Indicates an increased cumulative power
demand
from your vehicle, taking account
of the combined power available from the
HDi Diesel engine and the electric motor.
Power indicator
The indicator dial displays information on the total power used in real time, combining electric and
Diesel.
It comprises three operating zones.
Indicates that the vehicle
is optimising its energy
consumption
, electric, Diesel
or a combination of both.
ECO zone
This zone corresponds to phases of electric
running as well as to phases of optimum use
of the HDi Diesel engine, which are easily
accessible with a suitable driving style (smooth
"eco-citizen" driving).
Indicates that the vehicle is in
an electrical energy recovery
phase: on deceleration, braking
(partially) or particularly with
your foot off the accelerator.

Fuel consumption histogram
(Only with touch screen)
This graph represents the history of average fuel
consumption figures.
It is accessible via the " Driving
" menu of the touch
screen.
These figures are calculated over the last 30 minutes in
periods of 5 minutes.
60 % Hybrid Use
corresponds to 60 % of the cumulative
running time with the addition of the Hybrid4 system and
40 % of the time with the Diesel engine only.

corresponding section.

19Hybrid4 system
Mode selector
The selector allows the driver to select one of the four operating modes offered by the Hybrid4
system.
)
Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the
corresponding indicator lamp.
ZEV
mode: for 100% electric running.
SPORT
mode: to make use of the maximum
per formance of the vehicle.
4WD
mode: to force 4x4 drive in conditions of
poor grip.
AUTO
mode: for everyday use and optimised
fuel consumption.
By default, the selector is in the AUTO
position when starting the Hybrid4 system, whatever
position it was in when the ignition was switched off.
AUTO mode
This mode is designed to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption by managing the alternate
or simultaneous operation of the two motors
according to the conditions and driving style.
When conditions allow, an adequate battery
state of charge and moderate acceleration, the
alternator-starter motor stops the HDi Diesel
engine to provide 100% electric running.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Adapted to your Hybrid4 vehicle
Use gear selector position A
, as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances, and
the AUTO
mode of the Hybrid4 mode selector.
When moving off, accelerate normally up to the desired speed ( POWER
zone between 20
and 40 %).
At steady speeds, drive gently with small movements of the accelerator pedal ( ECO
or
CHARGE
zone), to allow running in electric mode when driving at low speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down and use engine braking ( CHARGE
zone), so as to make
use of the recovery of "free" energy, while maintaining light pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
For information on other eco-driving practices, refer to the corresponding section of the
handbook for the vehicle.
