Hybrid4 system
508HY-comp_en_Chap00b_hybrid_ed01-2016
The electronic power super visor (4) manages the operation of the two power units, HDi Diesel and electric, giving priority to low fuel consumption.
The alternator-star ter motor (5) assures the Stop & Star t function, which allows the HDi Diesel engine to be put into standby when the vehicle is at a standstill (traffic lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam...) or during phases of running in 100% electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the HDi Diesel engine is done automatically and instantly without any action on the part of the driver. This alternator-starter motor also provides additional charging of the high-voltage battery by the HDi Diesel engine, if this not sufficiently charged, or in 4WD mode for example.
Compared to a manual gearbox, the ETG6 electronic gearbox (6) provides, in automatic mode, significant savings in fuel consumption, through the electronic management of gear changes.
The mode selector (8) allows selection of the four operating modes offered by the HYbrid4 system: - AUTO mode, which optimises fuel consumption by automatically managing the alternate or simultaneous use of the two motors, - ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, which provides 100% electric drive, when the driving conditions and the state of charge of the battery permit, - SPORT mode, which provides more dynamic driving with additional per formance, - 4WD (4 Wheel Drive) mode, which improves traction at low speed when grip is poor (snow, mud, sand...).

HYbrid4 modes
1. HYbrid4 mode selected ( AUTO , ZEV , ZEV , ZEVSPORT or 4WD ). 2. "Zero Emission" messages if the HDi Diesel engine is stopped (0 g/km CO2).
Operation / Energy flows
6. The HDi Diesel engine supplies the battery (as needed). 7. Arrow from left to right: the battery powers the electric motor (when the electric motor is operating). Arrow from right to left: the electric motor/generator recharges the battery (energy recovery phases).
8. The HDi Diesel engine drives the front wheels. 9. The electric motor drives the rear wheels.
Information on the HYbrid4 mode selected ( 1, 2 ), arrows for energy flows ( 6 to 9 ) and the state of charge of the high voltage battery ( 4 ), is displayed in real time in the instrument panel screen or the touch screen. See the "Trip computer" section.

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.

S P O R T m o d e
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving by providing additional performance . By using the capacity of the electric motor to supplement the power of the HDi Diesel engine, the vehicle's full power is used for acceleration and pick-up. This mode manages the response of the accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
4 W D m o d e
(4 - wheel
drive)
This "4-wheel drive" mode provides additional traction at low speed by driving all four wheels of the vehicle simultaneously: the HDi Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously and permanently. Their coupling is managed electronically to optimise traction when grip is poor.
This mode should be used on snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...), as well as for crossing a ford, at moderate speed. In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you accelerate strongly to facilitate moving off and making progress and so reduce the risk of getting stuck.
This mode will be even more effective if the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres, such as winter tyres.
In 4WD mode: - the HDi Diesel engine operates continuously; if necessary, it supplies energy for the electric motor, - the additional traction from the electric motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
In SPORT mode: - the electric motor as an addition is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode is available whatever: - the state of charge of the high voltage battery, - the altitude.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions. Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality. On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended. In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the internal combustion engine or electric motor, the electronic gearbox, or the electrical
systems of your vehicle.
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users, - place the mode selector in the 4WDposition, - drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you are obliged to drive through water: Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system! Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...) might come into contact with the hot exhaust system or certain components of the HYbrid4 system which can reach very high temperatures - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the electronic gearbox into position N .

Snow chains
Recommendations
The use of snow chains is only authorised on the front wheels. The mode selector must be in the 4WD position.
For information on the sizes compatible with the tyres on your vehicle and advice on use, refer to the corresponding section in the handbook for the vehicle.
