Hybrid system








Hybrid4 mode selector
The selector allows the user to choose between
4 drive modes for the vehicle.
Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode
selected is confirmed by illumination of thecorresponding indicator.
ZEVmode, to
force electric running.S
portmode, 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 lever in position N, press the brake pedal and press
the STA R T/STOP switch 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 instantlybut may take a few seconds in some case (in particular, the time needed for pre-heating the
Diesel engine in cold weather).









Ready lamp
When stationary, ensure that you press the STA R T/STOP switch and check that the Readylamp is off when leaving thevehicle. Otherwise the hybrid systemwill still be active. See paragraph "Under bonnet precautions/warnings".

Hybrid system

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)


4WD mode **

(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance.Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of theaccelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).


This mode provides additional traction
***
at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically tooptimise traction on slippery sur faces.
In 4WD mode:


- Power for the electric motor is provided,
i
f needed, by the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.

- The additional traction from the electricmotor is available up to 70 mph (120 km/h). In ZEV m
ode:


- the accelerator control is progressive.

- Range and acceleration capacity are
limited. The maximum speed possible is
around 36 mph (60 km/h).

- Under high load or a priority requirement causing the star t of the Diesel engine, the
system changes automatically to AUTO mode.I
f the conditions do not allow this mode, a message that the ZEV mode is not available appears in
the screen, the ZEV warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes off and theselector comes on in AUTO.
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
For more information on "Automatic
restarting of the Diesel engine", refer to the corresponding section.

**

4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***

This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres inparticular).

49Hybrid system

The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an externalsource and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.

High voltage


The voltage used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Ta k e great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying thecurrent.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off system
blocks the high voltage current and cuts off
the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be started.To restar t the hybrid system, contact aCITROËN dealer.
Hi
gh voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle (sills); ensure that the vehicle is not
used for off-road activity (such as coveringrough ground) which could damage them.
Be
fore doing any work on the vehicle, switch off the ignition (Readylamp off).



Battery precautions

Hi
gh voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.

Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, cables (orange in colour) or connectors, even in the event of an accident.

Underbonnet precautions/warnings
The alternator-star ter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restar ting at any time.
Alwa
ys ensure that theignition is switched off ( Readylamp off) before
opening the bonnet.
Also ensure that the ignition is switchedoff when refuelling to avoid the enginerestarting.

Monitoring
Indicator and warning lamps
When the engine is star ted, these same warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to
the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of cer tain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.

Certain warning lamps may come on inone of two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the operation of the vehicle can itbe determined whether the situation is normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information. Visual indicators in
forming the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off or has a fault.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.

Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel screen, this confirms that the corresponding system has come into operation.
