How to start your vehicle



- Ensure that the gear lever is in
position N
.

- Switch the ignition on by turning the
key to position 2
.

- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal, turn
the ignition key to position 3
to start
up the hybrid system, then release
the key.


- The instrument panel and the Ready

lamp come on. The power meter nee-
dle sweeps through its travel indicat-
ing that the hybrid system is active,
confi rmed by a message
; the dial in
the centre console is in AUTO
mode
(default mode for starting).

- The hybrid system determines
whether it is necessary to start the
Diesel engine.


- With the brake still applied, move
the gear lever to position A
to go
forwards or R
(by lifting the lever
slightly) for reverse.

- Lift your foot off the brake pedal, you
can move off.

- The parking brake is released auto-
matically as you move off, if confi g-
ured to do so (otherwise, release the
parking brake manually).



How to stop your vehicle and
the hybrid system


- Apply the brake until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.

- Place the gear lever in position N
.

- Turn the ignition key to position 1
,
the parking brake is applied auto-
matically if confi gured to do so.

- Otherwise apply the parking brake
manually, the P
warning lamp must
be on.



When your vehicle starts in
electric mode, this means
that it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians
as they will not hear you
coming.



When stationary, switch off
the ignition and ensure that
the Ready
lamp is off before
you leave the vehicle. Other-
wise the hybrid system will still be
active. See "Underbonnet precau-
tions/warnings".

On starting the vehicle: with the gear le-
ver in position N
, press the brake pedal
and turn the ignition key to activate the
hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is
ready to move off ("Auto" mode is on by
default) and so the driver can press the
accelerator.
This lamp comes on more or less in-
stantly but may take a few seconds in
some case (in particular, the time need-
ed for pre-heating the Diesel engine in
cold weather).

READY LAMP


When stationary, ensure that
you switch off the ignition and
check that the Ready
lamp is
off when you leave the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the hybrid system will
remain active. See paragraph "Un-
derbonnet precautions/warnings".

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 confi rmed by illumination of
the corresponding indicator.


ZEV
mode, to force electric running.

Sport
mode, to make use of the maxi-
mum performance of the vehicle.

Auto mode



4WD
mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4
mode.

It automatically manages the operation
of the Diesel engine and the electric
motor, according to inherent vehicle pa-
rameters, traffi c conditions and driving
style so as to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption
.
In particular, this mode activates "zero
emissions" electric running
when the
conditions allow.
In auto mode, the electric motor
:


-
can drive the vehicle on its own up to
around 36 mph (60 km/h) in "zero emis-
sions" electric running, depending on
the state of charge of the battery, if the
conditions specifi c to the vehicle are
met and if acceleration is moderate,

- supplements the Diesel engine

when moving off and changing gear,
during acceleration and when traction
from the front wheels is inadequate (it
automatically adds
4 wheel drive
),

- is no longer active above 70 mph
(120 km/h).



AUTO
mode, for normal use and opti-
mised fuel consumption.
This standard
mode to use in
preference
is activated auto-
matically
on starting the hy-
brid system.

ZEV mode *
(all electric)
Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)

Zero emissions vehicle operation is as-
sured 100 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent running
at
moderate speeds.
This mode allows more dynamic driving
by providing 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 progressive-
ness of the accelerator, the automatic
gear control 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 electroni-
cally to optimise traction on slippery
surfaces.
In 4WD mode:


- Power for the electric motor is
provided, if needed, by the alterna-
tor-starter motor of the front engine.
The Diesel engine operates continu-
ously.

- The additional traction from the elec-
tric motor is available up to 70 mph
(120 km/h).


*
ZEV: Zero Emissions Vehicle. In ZEV mode:


- the accelerator control is progres-
sive.

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

- Under high load or a priority require-
ment causing the start of the Diesel
engine, the system changes auto-
matically to AUTO mode.


It can be activated when
the required conditions are
met, particularly if the state
of charge of high voltage
battery is suffi cient (4 bars minimum).

If the conditions do not allow
this mode, a message that the
ZEV mode is not available ap-
pears in the screen, the ZEV
warning lamp fl ashes for a few
seconds then goes off and the selector
comes on in AUTO.

**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.

***
This mode will be even more effec-
tive if suitable tyres are fi tted (winter
tyres in particular).
This mode should be used on
snow covered roads or diffi cult
ground (mud, sand, …).

POWER METER

The dial provides real time information on the total power used, combining electric
and Diesel.
It comprises three main zones.


ECO zone

Zone which indicates that the vehicle
is optimising its energy consump-
tion
, electric, Diesel or a combination
of both.

POWER zone

Zone which indicates an increased cu-
mulative power demand
from your
hybrid vehicle, taking account of the
combined capacities of the Diesel en-
gine and the electric motor.


CHARGE zone

Zone which indicates that the vehicle is
in electrical energy recovery
phase: on
deceleration, braking or foot off the ac-
celerator, ...
This allows the high voltage battery
to be recharged using "free" energy

which can then be reused
for future
energy requirements.
This zone corresponds to phases of
electric running as well as to phases
of optimum use of the Diesel engine,
which are easily accessible with a suit-
able driving style (smooth "eco-citizen"
driving).

Examples of displays


On starting and when stationary
there is no fl ow of energy (the Stop & Start system
stops and restarts the Diesel engine automatically).

Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off the
accelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by
the electric motor/generator, itself driven by the rear
wheels.

100 % electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the
electric motor, powered by the battery, drives the rear
wheels.
The display of "Zero Emissions" indicates that the
Diesel engine is off and the vehicle is producing no CO
2.

HYBRID SYSTEM

Automatic restarting of
the Diesel engine
Various conditions can lead to restarting
or maintaining the Diesel engine, princi-
pally:


- during sustained and sharp ac-
celeration ,


- to maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment,

- when demisting,

- if the high voltage battery is not
suffi ciently charged,

-
in mountainous conditions (altitude),


- in certain temperature conditions
for the engine, such as a low am-
bient temperature (below 0 °C),

- if the temperature of the hybrid
system is too high,

- when using the vehicle after pro-
longed parking in a sunny area,

- when using the vehicle on a steep
slope,

- when regenerating the particle
emissions fi lter,

- fuel level too low.
In ZEV mode, these conditions lead
to an immediate change to AUTO
mode.
The Diesel engine is switched off auto-
matically as soon as these conditions
are lifted.






ECO OFF SWITCH


This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that
a comfortable temperature can be main-
tained in the passenger compartment
(air conditioning running continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine re-
starts immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the
switch again.
After switching off the ignition, the vehi-
cle will return to normal operation (lamp
in the switch off).
Your vehicle is fi tted with the
most effective emissions con-
trol systems , in particular
the particle Emissions Filter
(PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel en-
gine will produce energy for the self-
cleaning of this fi lter.
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 CO2 emis-
sions.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

Use automatic mode A
as much as
possible as this optimises gear chang-
es to suit the circumstances.



Drive smoothly


If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents be-
fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front fo-
glamps when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when
stationary, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

HYBRID SYSTEM
38

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 in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption set-
tle down to a consistent average.
