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.

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.

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.

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.
