First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.

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 It is no longer active above 75 mph (120 km/h).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.

508HY-comp_en_Chap00b_hybrid_ed01-2016
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016
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).
M i s c e l l a n e o u s
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.
