Diesel weights and towed loads (in kg) - Commercial versions
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
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.
When towing, the maximum authorised speed is reduced (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.

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
t r a i l e r .
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 ( RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.

Weights and towed loads (in kg)
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). ** The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding. To make use of the 300 kg load transfer, the driver must be alone in the vehicle with no luggage in the vehicle.

Air conditioning / Heating
QuestionAnswer
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 always 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
QuestionAnswer
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 hybrid components that are also cooled by the engine's cooling system.
Why does engine braking seem so strong? When you take your foot off the accelerator, the engine braking results mainly from the energy recovery by the electric motor. This leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the recovery of "free" energy.
