35Driving

Stopping the vehicle
Operating fault


Before leaving the vehicle, check that
the parking brake lamps are on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel and in
the control lever.

To immobilise the vehicle without
applying the parking brake, before
switching off the ignition, place the gear
selector in position A
or R
.
If the battery is flat, it is essential
to place a chock against one of the
wheels to immobilise the vehicle.

Before switching off the Hybrid4 system, place
the gear selector in position N.
When switching off the Hybrid4 system, the
electric parking brake is applied automatically.
If the automatic function is deactivated, apply
the parking brake manually to immobilise the
vehicle.

Never leave children unsuper vised in
the vehicle with the Hybrid4 system
active.

For your safety, this function will only
be activated if you press the brake
pedal when engaging for ward drive or
reverse.
This function is deactivated if the
driver's door is opened. To reactivate
it, close the door and then press the
brake or accelerator pedal.


Creep function

This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, …).
With the Hybrid4 hybrid system active, the
vehicle stationary and the parking brake
released:


)
press the brake pedal,

)
place the gear selector in position A
, R
or
M
,

)
gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately and
gradually reaches a speed of approximately
6 mph (10 km/h), with pressing the accelerator
pedal.
With the ignition on, the
flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Car washing machine or tunnel


Some car washing machines or tunnels (where the vehicle is moved for wards on a travelling track) require that the parking brake be "released" during
the wash.
With the Hybrid4 system active, READY
lamp on, parking brake
released:


)
Place the gear selector at position N
.

)
Switch off the Hybrid4 system (press the START/STOP

button). The READY
lamp goes off in the instrument panel
and the parking brake is applied automatically.

)
Switch on the ignition again (press the START/STOP
button)
without your foot on the brake pedal. The READY
lamp
remains off.

)
Release the parking brake using the manual control on the
centre console, while keeping your foot on the brake pedal.

)
Switch off the ignition (press the START/STOP
button without
your foot on the brake pedal) after having checked that the
parking brake remains released.



If the HDi Diesel engine was on standby, it then restarts.
If the HDi Diesel engine is running, its operation is maintained
without time limit.
With the Hybrid4 system active, READY
lamp on, parking brake
released:


)
Place the gear selector at position N
( AUTO
mode).

)
Press the brake pedal then the " ECO OFF
" button.

37Practical information










Temporary puncture repair kit


This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows you to carry out a temporary repair
to a tyre.
This makes it possible to continue to the nearest garage.

It can be used for for repairing most
punctures on the tread or shoulder of
the tyre.
The compressor can be used to check
and adjust a tyre pressure.

For more information on the use of this
temporary puncture repair kit, refer
to the corresponding section in the
handbook for the vehicle.

All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle.
Do not use them for other purposes.



Access to the kit














List of tools



1.
12 V compressor.
Contains a sealant cartridge for the
temporary repair of a tyre and can also be
used for adjusting tyre pressures.

2.

boot floor.

Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed


Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Use the towing eye only
to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.

Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position N
, then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY
lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.

Frequently asked questions


100% electric mode (zero emissions)



Question



Answer


Why is it not always possible for me to select ZEV

(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even though the battery
seems well charged? This situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to ZEV mode, even if the battery
has sufficient charge, such as, for example, very cold conditions, altitude, demisting, high
demand for heating or air conditioning, regeneration of the particle filter (FAP).
Why do I sometimes see an alert message " Electric
mode not available: FAP regeneration in progress" ? This is a message which indicates that regeneration of the particle filter (FAP) is in progress.
This is a completely normal process that takes place every 240 or 300 miles (400 or 500 km)
(or more frequently in prolonged urban use), as on a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle.
In the case of a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle, this process is not generally noticed by the
driver.
On the other hand, in the case of Hybrid4 this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban use)
as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at inter vals
while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible for me to put the vehicle into ZEV

mode, even though I had just been running electrically
in AUTO
mode? The management of ZEV is different from AUTO
mode.
Changing to ZEV
mode is only possible with a battery charge of at least 4 bars, in order to
assure sufficient range.
In AUTO
mode, the system alone manages the conditions for changing temporarily to
electric mode, for shorter periods and with a lower state of charge of the battery.
Why is the range in ZEV
mode lower when going uphill? The vehicle needs more energy when going uphill than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in AUTO
mode, which will favour operation of the HDi Diesel engine.
Why is it that the system makes me come out of ZEV

mode; it does not return to ZEV
mode automatically
when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give preference to ZEV
running at any cost, as it is not always the
most economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to AUTO
mode.

43Frequently asked questions

Reducing consumption / Fuel



Question



Answer


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
mode).
This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery of energy when decelerating.
Why are there so may fuel alert messages when
starting to use the reser ve? To encourage you to refuel as soon as possible and to avoid loosing the possibility of all
electric running.

Air conditioning / Heating



Question



Answer


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).

Miscellaneous



Question



Answer


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.
