9Familiarisation
For economical driving, caring for the environment
The fuel consumptionof a vehicle varies greatly:
- according to the driver's style of driving
(moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),
- according to the type of journeys
made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.
Main recommendations for driving economically
Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the Automodeof the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in par ticular cases.
Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.
Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Obser ve the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.
Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone
displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at steadyspeeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible.Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy consumption.Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.

The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the twopower units (Diesel and electric) to provide the
lowest consumption.
An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inver ter acts on the torque of the electric
motor, by regulating the current coming from
the high voltage battery pack. Its operatingrange is between 150 and 270 volts.
The transformer converts the 200 V of thebattery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle'sancillary systems.
The Stop & Start system - 5allows the Dieselengine to be put into standby during stops(traffic lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restar ting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous
and transparent for the driver.
The electronic gearbox- 6
provides, in
automatic mode, significant savings in fuelconsumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with
the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

Hybrid system
Hybrid4 mode selector
The selector allows the user to choose between 4 drive modes for the vehicle.
Turn the dial to the ri
ght or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the corresponding indicator.
ZEVmode, to force electric runnin
g.Spor
tmode, to make use of the maximum
performance of the vehicle.
4WDmode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.
AUTOmode, for normal use and optimised fuelconsumption.
On star ting the vehicle: with the gear selector in position N, press the brake pedal and press
the STA R T/STOP button to activate the hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is ready
to move off ("Auto" mode is on by default) andso the driver can press the accelerator.
This lamp comes on more or less instantly but may take a few seconds in some cases (inparticular, the time needed for pre-heating the
Diesel engine in cold weather or, for example,
in energy economy mode, ...).
Ready lamp
With the vehicle stationary, press the STA R T/STOP button and check that the Readylampyis off when leaving the vehicle, other wise thehybrid system will still be active.
For more information, refer to the section on "Underbonnet precautions / warnings".

ZEV mode *
(all electric)
Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured10 0 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running
at moderate speeds.
It
can be activated when therequired conditions are met, particularly if the state of charge of high voltage battery is sufficient (from 4 bars).
Auto mode
It automatically manages the operation of theDiesel engine and the electric motor, according
to inherent vehicle parameters, traffic conditions and driving style so as to optimise
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
In particular, this mode activates "zero emissions" electric runningwhen theconditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor:
- can drive the vehicle on its own up
to around 36 mph (60 km/h) in "zeroemissions" electric running, dependingon the state of charge of the battery, if the conditions specific to the vehicle are met
and if acceleration is moderate,
- supplements the Diesel en
gine
when
moving off and changing gear, duringacceleration and when traction from the front wheels is inadequate (it automatically adds4 wheel drive),
- is no longer active above 70 mph (120 km/h).
*
ZEV: Z
ero Emissions Vehicle.
This standardmode to use in preference
is activated automaticallyon starting the hybrid system.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available
Maintaining the performance of
the system
- When the vehicle exceeds 18 mph(30 km/h) after moving off (if the internal
combustion engine has not already star ted since the vehicle was last star ted).
- If the high voltage battery is not sufficiently charged. A minimum of 4 barsin ZEV mode so as to ensure operationover a cer tain distance (in AUTO, electricoperation is accessible for a shor ter period with a lower level of charge).
- When the fuel level enters the reservezone (where rate of consumption of this reser ve is high, ZEV inhibition may continue for some time after refuelling).
- During regeneration of the particleemissions filter, which occursautomatically for 5 to 10 minutes,approximately every 300 miles (500 kms)(or less in extended urban running).
The internal combustion engine may restar t or
ZEV mode may not be available in the variousconditions presented below. The internal combustion engine can beswitched off automatically as soon as these
conditions are lifted. When the conditions described below causethe vehicle to come out of ZEV mode andthe Diesel engine to restar t, the vehicle automatically changes to AUTO mode.
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effective emissions control systems, in par ticular the Particle Emissions Filter (PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.
Action by the driver
- Moving the gear selector to position M
. - Action on steering mounted control paddles to change gear.- Sustained and sharp acceleration. - Use of demisting.- Use of air conditioning.
Diffi cult weather conditions and
circumstances
- If cer tain conditions or engine temperature requirements make it necessary (such as
an engine temperature that is too low for the ambient conditions).
- When the battery is close to maximumcharge (for example: when going down a long hill), because engine recoverybeing no longer possible, the internalcombustion engine restar ts automatically just to provide engine braking.
- If the vehicle encounters a steep slope(car park ramp, ...).
- If the vehicle has been parked in the sunfor a prolonged period.
- When driving in mountainous conditions(altitude).

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
Use automated mode A
as much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit thecircumstances.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.
Control the use of your electrical equipment

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.
