Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV
mode NOT available
- when maintaining a comfortabletemperature in the passenger compar tment (air conditioning, ...),- when using the vehicle after prolonged parking in a sunny area,- when demisting, - during sustained and sharp acceleration - in mountainous conditions (altitude), - when using the vehicle on a steep slope(car park ramp, ...),- when regenerating the par ticle emissionsfilter, for around 5 to 10 minutes every 300 miles (500 km) (or less for extended urban running. )- in certain engine temperature conditions or requirements, such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambientconditions. In ZEV mode, these conditions lead to animmediate change to AUTO mode.The Diesel engine is switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted.
The main conditions are:
- if the gear lever is in position M,
- if the steering mounted gear change controlpaddles are operated,
- if the high voltage battery is not sufficientlycharged. At least 4 bars in ZEV mode soas to provide a cer tain distance (in AUTO mode, electric operation is available morebriefly with a lower state of charge),
- at 18 mph (30 km/h) after setting off (if the internal combustion engine has not already star ted since setting off),
- when the vehicle is on a slope, to retain engine braking from the internal combustion engine when the battery is fullycharged,
- when using engine braking from the internal combustion engine,
- when the fuel level enters the reserve zone(in the event of high consumption of this reser ve, inhibition of ZEV can continue for some time after refuelling).
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effectiveemissions control systems, in par ticular theParticle Emissions Filter (PEF). At regular inter vals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.
During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.

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 automatic mode Aas much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances.
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 requiretheir 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
