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.

Special conditions for the operation of ZEV mode
ZEV mode can be selected when all of the conditions for its operation are met, in particular an adequate state of charge of the battery (50% at least). In the situations described below, the HDi Diesel must be running; accordingly, ZEVmode cannot be selected or is deactivated automatically. The mode selector remains at or returns to the AUTO position to allow starting of the HDi Diesel engine.
Cases of non availability of ZEV mode or automatic return
to AUTO mode
- Manual gear change when in automatic mode using the steering mounted controls
for the electronic gearbox.
- Selection of manual mode by moving the gear selector for the electronic gearbox to position M .
- Sustained and sharp acceleration.
- Use of demisting / defrosting.
- Intensive use of air conditioning.

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.

200 V high voltage battery
The Ni-Mh (Nickel-Metal Hydride) technology used for the high voltage battery is suited to the frequent partial charging and discharging cycles related to the operation of a hybrid vehicle. The battery is installed close to the electric motor, below the boot trim, behind the storage well.
Charging
The battery recharges automatically while travelling. The battery is charged when the vehicle decelerates and when going downhill, the electric motor then becomes a generator and converts kinetic energy into electrical energy (except if the speed of the vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)). This recovery allows the use of "free" energy. The battery may also be partially charged up to a level of 4 to 5 bars, using the alternator-starter motor (Stop & Start) of the HDi Diesel engine.
The battery charging time is very short.
To preserve the service life of the battery, the level of charge never falls below 20%, even if no bars are displayed on the gauge after ZEVrunning. Where the battery is close to maximum,
vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so preserving a margin for energy recovery when deceleration or going downhill (free energy).
The battery is not recharged from a mains power supply.
Once it is discharged, following ZEV running or high load, the battery will reach its optimum
level of charge after around 10 minutes.

Safety warnings related to high voltage
Before doing any work on the vehicle, switch off the ignition ( RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY
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.

Ventilation of the high voltage battery
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system. This comprises an air intake (located on the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the left hand boot trim).
This ventilation system does not operate at the same speed at all times: it is continuously adjusted to suit the cooling requirements of the battery. The noise of its operation can be heard, particularly at the rear, after the HYbrid4
system is switched off (post-ventilation).
Safety recommendations
Do not obstruct the air intake with objects such as clothes or bags, in order to avoid any risk of the battery overheating, which could cause a loss of per formance of the HYbrid4 system,
even damage to the battery. Do not spill fluids, as this may damage the battery and cause a short-circuit.

Access to the underbonnet
Recommendations
Before doing anything under the bonnet, you must switch off the ignition and verify that the RE ADY lamp in the RE ADY lamp in the RE ADYinstrument panel is off - risk of serious injury!
The alternator-starter motor of your HYbrid4 vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there is a risk of the engine restarting at any time.
Always ensure that the ignition is switched off ( RE ADY lamp off) before RE ADY lamp off) before RE ADYopening the bonnet.
