The information is accessible in the " Driving " menu.
Permanent display:  Select the " Driving " menu.
The trip computer information is displayed in the primary page of the menu.  Press one of the buttons to display the desired tab.
Temporary display in a new window:  Press the end of the wiper control stalk for access to the information and display the different tabs.
The current instantaneous fuel consumption tab with: - the range,
- the current fuel consumption.
The trip "1" tab with: - the average speed, - the average fuel consumption, - the distance travelled, for the first trip.
The trip "2" tab with: - the average speed, - the average fuel consumption, - the distance travelled, for the second trip.
 When the desired trip is displayed, press the reset button or for more than two seconds on the end of the wiper control stalk. Tr i p s "1" and "2" are independent but their use is identical.
For example, trip "1" can be used for daily figures, and trip "2" for monthly figures.

Mode selector
AUTO mode: for everyday use and optimised fuel consumption.
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.
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.
By default, the selector is in the AUTOposition when starting the HYbrid4 system, whatever position it was in when the ignition was switched off.
Electronic key not recognised with Keyless Entry and Starting
If the electronic key is no longer in the recognition zone when driving or when you (later) request switching off of the HYbrid4 system, a message appears in the instrument panel.
 Press and hold the " START/STOP " button for about 3 seconds if you want to force the HYbrid4 system to switch off.
Note that restarting will not be possible without the presence of the electronic key in the recognition zone.

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.
Z E V m o d e
(all electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured 100 % by electric drive. This mode allows silent and clean running at moderate speeds.
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 AUTOmode.
For more information on the special conditions for the operation of ZEVmode, refer to the corresponding section.
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.

Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 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.

Frequently asked questions
508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016
Reducing consumption / Fuel
QuestionAnswer
How can I optimise my fuel consumption? Give preference to AUTO mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to use in order to reduce fuel consumption. You should also adapt your driving style to the characteristics of hybrid vehicles to get the best
out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking and by anticipating decelerations which allows the recovery of "free" energy for charging the battery (entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt signs, ...).
Why do I not manage to reduce my fuel consumption even though I often drive in ZEV(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode?
It is not ZEV mode but AUTO mode that is the most appropriate for reducing fuel consumption, as it selects the best "driving energy source". ZEV mode (100% electric running) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However, recharging the traction battery has an energy cost. This is why we recommend using AUTO mode more often.
Why does the fuel consumption histogram sometimes display consumption of 28 mpg (10 litres/100 km) in town?
In traffic jams, the fuel consumption graph may temporarily display high values but, as the distance covered is low, this has very little impact on the average fuel consumption. In urban driving, your HYbrid4 will remain more efficient in terms of fuel consumption compared to a conventional vehicle.
Why is my battery rarely fully charged? A partly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in AUTO m o d e). This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery of energy when decelerating.
Why are there so many fuel alert messages when starting to use the reserve? To encourage you to refuel as soon as possible and to avoid loosing the possibility of all electric running.
