Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available
The internal combustion engine may restar t or ZEV mode may not be available in the various conditions presented below.
The internal combustion engine can be switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted. When the conditions described below causethe vehicle to come out of ZEV mode and the Diesel engine to restar t, the vehicleautomatically changes to AUTO mode.
Diffi cult weather conditions and circumstances
- If certain conditions or engine
temperature requirements make it necessary (such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambient conditions). - When the battery is close to maximum charge (for example: when goingdown a long hill), because enginerecovery being no longer possible, theinternal combustion engine restarts automatically just to provide engine braking.- If the vehicle encounters a steep slope (car park ramp, ...).- If the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a prolonged period.- When driving in mountainous conditions (altitude).
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effectiveemissions control systems, in par ticular theParticle Emissions Filter (PEF). At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.
Maintaining the performance of the system
- When the vehicle exceeds 18 mph
(30 km/h) after moving off (if the internal combustion engine has not alreadystarted since the vehicle was last started). - If the high voltage battery is notsufficiently charged. A minimum of 4 bars in ZEV mode so as to ensure operation over a cer tain distance (in AUTO, electric operation isaccessible for a shor ter period witha lower level of charge). - When the fuel level enters the reserve zone (where rate of consumption of this reserve is high, ZEV inhibition maycontinue for some time after refuelling).- During regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter, which occurs
automatically for 5 to 10 minutes, approximately every 300 miles(500 kms) (or less in extended urban running).
Action by the driver
- Moving the gear selector to position M.
- Action on steering mounted controlpaddles to change gear.
- Sustained and sharp acceleration.
- Use of demisting.
- Use of air conditioning.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
Use automated 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 thebackground 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.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
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 windowsand leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp 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 attained.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 foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehiclewill warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if thecircumstances dictate:
System which automatically changes betweendipped and main beam according to the driving conditions, using a sensor in the rear view mirror.
The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h) and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km / h).

or "Dipped/main beam headlamps"
position,
Switching off
)
or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does notdeactivate the system.The state of the system is stored in memory when switching off the ignition. This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle'slighting and its correct use for theprevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the sensor,
- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting isobscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottomof a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
