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.

11Hybrid4 system
On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy; the Stop & Start alternator-starter
stops and restarts the HDi Diesel engine automatically,
whatever the operating mode selected.
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the high voltage battery is
recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by
the rear wheels.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal; deceleration will be less marked than
with a conventional vehicle.
100% electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electric
motor drives the vehicle, via the rear wheels, powered by the
high voltage battery.
The display of " Zero Emission
" indicates that the HDi Diesel
engine is stopped and the vehicle is producing no CO
2.

Starting the Hybrid4 system
Activation of the Hybrid4 system
On activation of the Hybrid4 system, the
instrument panel lights up, the power indicator
needle is placed at position " 0
". The steering
column automatically unlocks (perceptible
noise and movement of the steering column).
Depending on certain parameters, such as the
state of charge of the high voltage battery or
the ambient temperature, the Hybrid4 system
itself determines whether it is necessary to
start the HDi Diesel engine.
The mode selector is at the AUTO
position.
In wintry conditions with the
engine cold, the Diesel pre-
heating warning lamp can stay
on for a few seconds; wait until
it goes off before releasing the
brake pedal.

by an audible signal.
If the Hybrid4 system does not activate:
)
If N
is flashing in the instrument
panel, move the gear selector to
position A
then to position N
.
)
If the " Foot on the brake
" is
displayed, press the brake pedal
firmly.
The READY
lamp may come on after
a few seconds if there is a demand
for activation of the Hybrid4 system
after energy economy mode has been
entered.

Moving off
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.
You can change the operating mode of the
Hybrid4 system at any time using its mode
selector.
Driving in ZEV
mode requires that particular
conditions be met.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off
in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians, cyclists...
as, because of this, they will not hear
you coming.
Head-up display
The colour of the speedometer varies
according to the drive train used:
- white display: Diesel engine
running,
- blue display: Diesel engine
stopped.
Using automatic mode with the
electronic gearbox optimises gear
changes and so gives more economical
driving.

ZEV mode
(all electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured
100 % by electric drive.
This mode allows silent and clean running
at
moderate speeds.
It can be activated when the
conditions allow, particularly
if the state of charge of high
voltage battery is sufficient (from
4 bars).
In AUTO
mode, the electric motor
:
- can power the vehicle on its own in "zero
emissions" electric running, depending
on the state of charge of the battery, if the
conditions specific to the vehicle are met
and if acceleration is moderate,
- supplements the HDi Diesel
engine
when moving off and changing
gear, during acceleration or when traction
from the front wheels is inadequate,
temporarily providing 4-wheel drive.
The electric motor can operate only at speeds
below 52 mph (85 km/h). It is no longer active
above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Refer to the special conditions for operation of
ZEV
mode.
For more information on the special
conditions for the operation of ZEV
mode, refer to the corresponding
section.
If the conditions do not allow ZEV
mode to be
selected or maintained, the message " Electric
mode is not currently available
" appears in
the screen. The ZEV
indicator lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off and the indicator
lamp in the AUTO
position comes on.
In ZEV
mode:
- range and acceleration capacity are
limited; the maximum speed is around
36 mph (60 km/h),
- under high load or a priority requirement
causing the start of the HDi Diesel engine,
the system changes automatically to AUTO
mode.

21Hybrid4 system
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
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.
This mode is available whatever:
- the state of charge of the high
voltage battery,
- the altitude.
