"ECO OFF" function
This function prevents the HDi Diesel engine being switched off and ensures that a comfortable temperature can be maintained in the passenger compartment. This therefore allows the air conditioning or heating to be kept running. Depending on version, the control is either in the switch panel alongside the steering wheel, or in the " Driving " menu of the touch screen.
The function is deactivated on switching off the ignition.
With the touch screen button
During phases of electric running and when the internal combustion engine is stopped,
the HYbrid4 system manages restarting automatically to maintain the temperature in the passenger compartment * . However, variations in temperature may still be felt in very high ambient temperatures. In this case, activate the ECO OFF function.

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
