Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
Four driving modes are offered:
-
a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

sp
ort programme for a more dynamic style
of driving,
-

s

Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the six gears.
th

e gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down).
t
h
e gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
Sport and snow programmes

when traction is poor.
T appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected (S or " T") again at any time to quit the
programme engaged and return to auto-
adaptive mode.
th
ese two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.
Creep function
(moving without using
the accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is
running.

It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.Invalid value during manual
operation
this symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
th

e sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.
If the lever is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, there is an audible signal and a
message appears.

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...).

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.
