Hybrid system














Ready lamp

With the gear selector in position N, press the
brake pedal and star t the hybrid system.
This lamp comes on when the vehicle is read
y
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 cases (in par ticular, the time needed for pre-heating
the Diesel engine in cold weather or in energy economy mode, for example, ...).








HYbrid4 mode selector
AUTOmode, for normal use and optimised fuelconsumption.
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.



When stationary, switch off the hybridsystem and check that the Readylamp is off when you leave the vehicle,otherwise the hybrid system will remainactive. Th
e 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 the corresponding indicator.

For more information, refer to the "Underbonnet precautions / warnings" section.

Hybrid system

Auto mode
It automatically manages the operation of the
Diesel 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 par ticular, 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 "zero
emissions" electric running, dependingon the state of charge of the battery, if the conditions specific to the vehicle are metand if acceleration is moderate, -supplements the Diesel enginewhen moving off and changing gear, during acceleration and when traction from thefront wheels is inadequate (it automaticallyadds4 wheel drive ),
- is no longer active above 70 mph (120 km / h).
ZEV mode *
(all electric)

Zero emissions vehicle operation is assured
10 0 % by electric drive.
This mode forces silent runningat moderatespeeds.
If the conditions do not allow this mode
,a message that the "electric mode is notcurrently available" appears in the screen.
The ZEV warning lamp flashes for a fewseconds then goes off and the selector comes
on in AUTO.
In ZEV mode:


- 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, thesystem changes automatically to AUTO mode.


This standard
mode to use inpreferenceis activated automaticallyon star ting the hybrid system.


For more information on "Automaticrestarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode not available", refer to the corresponding section.


* ZEV: Z
ero Emissions Vehicle.
It can be activated when the
required conditions are met,
particularly if the state of charge of high voltage battery issufficient (from 4 bars).

31
Hybrid system

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)

This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance. Vehicle acceleration and pick-up aremaximised by using the capacity of the electricmotor, supplementing the power of the Dieselengine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the useof the electric motor.
In Spor t mode:


-
The electric motor can be used up to
70 mph (120 km/h).
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode provides additional traction*** at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehiclecontinuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)
operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their couplin
g is managed electronically to
optimise traction on slippery surfaces.
In 4WD mode:
- Power for the electric motor is provided,
if needed, b
y the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.
- The additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...). In this mode, in severe conditionsand if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you acceleratestrongly to ensure that you move off andavoid any risk of getting stuck.



Be aware of the ground clearance of your vehicle: around 184 mm (with the vehicle in working order: driver only and
the fuel tank full) in ideal conditions. This value will vary with vehicle load,the nature of the ground surface and the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehiclecan traverse an obstacle, they assumeentire responsibility for this.

**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.

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

Hybrid system








Energy consumption / generation indicator
The indicator dial provides real time information
on the total power used, combining electric and
Di
esel.
It comprises three main zones.

CHARGE zone

Zone which indicates that the vehicle isin electrical energy recovery
phase:
on deceleration, braking or foot off the
accelerator, ...
This allows the high voltage battery to be recharged using "free" energy
which can thenbe reusedfor future energy requirements.


POWER zone

Zone which indicates an increased cumulative power demand
from your hybrid vehicle,
taking account of the combined capacities of
the Diesel engine and the electric motor.
Z
one which indicates that the vehicle is
optimising its energy consumption, electric,
Diesel or a combination of both.
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 suitable driving style (smooth "eco-citizen" driving).
ECO zone

Consumption of your hybrid in the screen

Average consumption over the last 5 minutes.
Resetting the history

With the hybrid system active, when trip 2displayed, press the control for 2 seconds to
reset the history to zero.

For more information on the trip computer, refer to the corresponding section. "60 % H
ybrid Use" corresponds to 60 % of the cumulative running time of the electric motor in the various Modes (Auto,
ZEV, Sport or 4WD) and 40 % of the time with the Dieselengine only (with no contribution from the hybrid system).
