Maintaining the performance of the system:
- During phases of regeneration of the particle filter (FAP), which is automatically triggered approximately every 300 miles (500 kms) for a period of about 10 minutes. During regeneration of the particle filter, the particles a brought up to a high temperature using the HDi Diesel engine; A message is then displayed: " Electric mode not available: FAP regeneration ".
- If the state of charge of the high voltage battery is lower than 4 bars (equal to 50% charged). In AUTO mode, electric operation is possible with a lower state of charge.
- When the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), if the internal combustion engine has not already started at least once since the HYbrid4 system was started.
- When the fuel level enters the reserve zone (illumination of the low fuel warning lamp). Where this reserve is is being used up quickly, ZEV may not be possible for some time after refuelling.
- If certain conditions or engine temperature requirements needed by the HDi Diesel engine are not met (for example, in wintry conditions).
- Following a prolonged period with the vehicle parked in the sun.
- When the state of charge of the high voltage battery is close to the maximum level (for example: when going down a long hill using the electric motor for braking), recovery of the vehicle's kinetic energy being no longer possible, the HDI Diesel engine restarts automatically just to provide engine braking.
- On a steep rising slope.
- Driving at altitude.

High voltage cables are routed under the vehicle (sills); take care not to damage them when the vehicle is used for off-road activity (such as covering rough ground).
Operations on the
battery
The high voltage battery must not in any circumstances be charged from an external power supply and must only be handled by a qualified technician at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Incorrect handling may lead to serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or even death.
Take care to position lifting equipment ( jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
The voltage used for the operation of the electric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts. Do not handle the components of the high voltage system (identified by the orange colour): risk of electrocution and burns!
E m e r g e n c y c u t - o f f
In the event of an accident, a safety system automatically cuts-off the high voltage system and the fuel supply. The HYbrid4 system can no longer be started. You must then contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage parts, orange cables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels present on the vehicle. Battery electrolyte is very corrosive: risk of burns. No sparks or naked flames. Do not burn or heat. Keep out of reach of children. Do not spray or pour fluids: risk of damage to the battery. To avoid any risk to the environment, the high voltage battery must be recycled in an appropriate manner. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
