Automatic
wiping fixed.
The wiper control is pushed
downwards. Automatic front wiping is activated.
To deactivate automatic wiping, operate the control
stalk downwards or put the stalk into another position.
Passenger's
airbag system fixed in the seat belt
and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps
display.
The control switch, located in the glove
box, has been placed in the "ON"

position.
The passenger's front airbag is activated.
In this case, do not install a rear ward
facing child seat on this seat.Move the control switch to the "OFF" position to
deactivate the passenger's front airbag.
In this case, you can install a rear ward facing child
seat, unless there is a fault with the airbags (airbag
warning lamp on).

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "EcO" w arning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
wi

th a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the THP 120 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-
wi

th an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position N .If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP

button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
s

ystem puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

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 & Start
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.
The 12 V batter y
, located under the bonnet,
powers the vehicle's conventional electrical
system. It is used for starting the HDi Diesel
engine and the operation of the vehicle's
equipment, such as the lighting, wipers, audio
system...
This 12 V battery is recharged automatically by
the high voltage network.

15Hybrid4 system

Starting the Hybrid4 system


Activation of the Hybrid4 system

On activation of the Hybrid4 system, the
instrument panel lights up, the power indicator
needle is placed at position " 0
". The steering
column automatically unlocks (perceptible
noise and movement of the steering column).
Depending on certain parameters, such as the
state of charge of the high voltage battery or
the ambient temperature, the Hybrid4 system
itself determines whether it is necessary to
start the HDi Diesel engine.
The mode selector is at the AUTO
position.

In wintry conditions with the
engine cold, the Diesel pre-
heating warning lamp can stay
on for a few seconds; wait until
it goes off before releasing the
brake pedal.






























Starting - switching off the Hybrid4 system


Never leave children alone inside the
vehicle when the Hybrid4 system is
active.



)
Place the gear selector at position N
.

)
Insert the electronic key in the reader.
or


)
With Keyless Entry and Starting, simply
having the electronic key inside the vehicle
is sufficient.
)
Press the brake pedal firmly.


)
Make a single short press (about one
second) on the " START/STOP
" button.

)
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal until
the READY
lamp comes on, signalling
activation of the Hybrid4 system, confirmed
by an audible signal.

If the Hybrid4 system does not activate:


)
If N
is flashing in the instrument
panel, move the gear selector to
position A
then to position N
.

)
If the " Foot on the brake
" is
displayed, press the brake pedal
firmly.


The READY
lamp may come on after
a few seconds if there is a demand
for activation of the Hybrid4 system
after energy economy mode has been
entered.

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.
