29Hybrid system
Main parts of the Hybrid4 system 
   
The  HDi Diesel engine - 1 
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
  It is fitted with the Stop & Start 
 system  - 5 
 which recharges the batteries and provides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).  
   
Th
e  electric motor - 2 
, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or supplements the Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected. 
  It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the vehicle and is
active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
   
A 200 V NI-MH  high voltage battery - 3 
, provides a source of energy for the rear electric motor. 
  Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of deceleration.
  It is located in a compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained ser vice
t
echnicians.  
   
The batter
y state of chargeis indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).  
   
Th
e  conventional battery, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is yrecharged automatically by the high voltage network.

Hybrid system
Limit the causes of excess
consumption 
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
 
 At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:-  before a long journey,-   at each change of season,-  after a long period out of use.  
 
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
 
 
When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd 
 cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
 
 At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

200 V high voltage battery 
 
 
The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type 200 V high voltage battery is located below the boot
floor, close to the electric motor. It cannot be 
recharged from a mains supply.
Charging 
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becominga generator and conver ts kinetic energy into 
electrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply. 
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the Stop & Start system of 
the Diesel engine.     
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy. 
 The battery charging time is very short and iscontinuous.
 A discharged battery (following ZEV running or high load, for example) will quickly return to
a state of charge sufficient for full operation of 
the different hybrid modes. 
  The  recharge takes place automatically 
when driving .
  The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running.

This system does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the requirements of the battery. 
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if 
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the battery may 
overheat, damaging the battery and causing a 
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fan cooling of the high voltage battery 
 
 
For the best use of the high voltagebattery, please follow theserecommendations: 
 
 
-  do not obstruct the air intake with loose articles, otherwise, the battery may overheat, causing aloss of performance of the hybridsystem 
 
-   do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.  
 
 
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system, comprising an air intake(located on the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan (located behind the lefthand boot trim panel).

With the hybrid system active or when the vehicle is being driven, illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on the par t of the driver. 
 Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in the instrument panel screen. 
If you encounter any problems, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
