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.

Hybrid system
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 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 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.

Visibility
Adaptive lighting
Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if the circumstances dictate:
System which automatically changes betweendipped and main beam according to the driving conditions, using a sensor in the rear viewmirror.
The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h)
and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km / h).
)put the lighting control stalk on the "AUTO"
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 rainor 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 is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
