Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which hasa secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the en
gine management system a few minutesafter the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by a message in the instrument panel screen.In this case, your vehicle does not start; contacta PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Turn the ke
y towards the dashboard to the
intermediate position or with the Keyless Entry
and Star ting key inside the vehicle, press the
"START/STOP" button, with no action on the pedal. This switches on the ignition and so
activates the ancillary equipment.
)Press the "START/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on
but the en
gine does not star t. )Press the button again to switchoff the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.



Using the ancillaries for a long periodintroduces the risk of a flat battery.

Ready lamp

With the gear lever 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 instantly but may take a few seconds in some cases (inparticular, the time needed for pre-heating the
Diesel engine in cold weather).









HYbrid4 mode selector
AUTOmode, for normal use and optimised fuelconsumption.
ZEVmode, to force electric runnin
g.S
portmode, to make use of the maximum
per formance 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.Other wise the hybrid system will remainactive. See paragraph "Underbonnet precautions/warnings". 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 thecorresponding indicator.

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
, amessage 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.
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", refer tothe 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 (4 bars minimum).

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 gear control gearbox and the use of 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, ...).


**
4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***

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

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

Examples of displays
On starting and when stationary
There is no flow of energy (the Stop & Star t system stops and restar ts the Diesel engine automatically).
Energy recovery
During this phase (deceleration, braking, foot off theaccelerator, … all modes), the battery is recharged by the electric motor/generator, then being driven by the rear wheels.
100 % electric
In all electric running (AUTO or ZEV modes), only the electricmotor, 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 CO2.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or NON
access to ZEV mode
The main conditions are:


- if the gear lever is in position M,


- if the steering mounted gear change control paddles are operated,

- if the high voltage battery is not sufficiently charged. At least 4 bars in ZEV mode so asto provide a cer tain distance (in AUTO mode, electric operation is available more brieflywith a lower state of charge),

- at 18 mph (30 km/h) after setting off (if the internal combustion engine has not alreadystar ted since setting off),

- when the vehicle is on a slope, to retain engine braking from the internal combustion engine when the battery is fully charged,

- when using engine braking from the internal combustion engine,

- when the fuel level enters the reser ve zone (in the event of high consumption of thisreser ve, inhibition of ZEV can continue for some time after refuelling).

- when maintaining a comfor table temperature 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 emissions filter, for around 5 to 10 minutes every300 miles (500 km)(or less for extended urban running.

- in cer tain engine temperature conditions or requirements, such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambient conditions.
In ZEV mode, these conditions lead to an immediate change to AUTO mode. The Diesel engine is switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted.


Your vehicle is fitted with the most effective emissions control systems, inparticular the Particle Emissions Filter (PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaningof this filter.
During this PEF regeneration phase,electric running is purposely madeunavailable.
