Presentation of the HYbrid4 system
Thank you for choosing this HYbrid4 vehicle,
which has characteristics that are different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the specific hybrid functions and for more information, refer
to the "Hybrid System" section.

22
The HYbrid4 technology allows two sources of energy to be associated in an effective manner:
the Diesel HDi engine, which drives the front
wheels and the electric motor, which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the hybrid modeselected and the driving conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power for
the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for running at slowspeed and low load. It also assists the Dieselengine when moving off, accelerating and changing gear.
The battery that powers the electric motor is
recharged during phases of deceleration andstores the energy for subsequent use.1

12 V battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for star ting the engine using another battery.
The presence of this label indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting thebattery. Failure to observe this recommendationmay cause premature wear of thebattery.


After refitting the battery, the Stop &Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of thebattery (up to about 8 hours).
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch, ) remove the plastic cover to gain access to
the two terminals,) unclip the fusebox to remove the battery, if necessary.



Access to the battery


Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition (Ready
lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 Vbattery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the high voltage battery used by the hybridsystem.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system,
recharging from another conventional 12 V
battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.
