* 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.
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.
When towing, the maximum authorised speed is reduced (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.

Temporary puncture repair kit


This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows you to carry out a temporary repair
to a tyre.
This makes it possible to continue to the nearest garage.

It can be used for for repairing most
punctures on the tread or shoulder of
the tyre.
The compressor can be used to check
and adjust a tyre pressure.

For more information on the use of this
temporary puncture repair kit, refer
to the corresponding section in the
handbook for the vehicle.

All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle.
Do not use them for other purposes.



Access to the kit














List of tools



1.
12 V compressor.
Contains a sealant cartridge for the
temporary repair of a tyre and can also be
used for adjusting tyre pressures.

2.
Chock.
For blocking the wheels of the vehicle.

3.
Wheel bolt cover remover.
For removing the wheel bolt head
protectors on alloy wheels.

4.
Wheel trim remover.
For removing the wheel bolt finishers on
alloy wheels.

5.
Removable towing eye.

This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.

Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed


Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Use the towing eye only
to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.

Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position N
, then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY
lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.









Snow chains


Recommendations


The use of snow chains is only authorised on
the front wheels.
The mode selector must be in the
4WD
position.

For information on the sizes
compatible with the tyres on your
vehicle and advice on use, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.

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.

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.
