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). 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 ( RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
Use the towing eye only to pull the vehicle out or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or t r a i l e r.
The towing eye is stowed in the storage well behind the rear seats. Fold the 2/3 part of the rear seat for access to it. Raise the cover of the storage well.

Air conditioning / Heating
QuestionAnswer
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).

QuestionAnswer
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.
