Presentation of the HYbrid4 system
Thank you for choosing this HYbrid4 vehicle,
which has characteristics that are different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the specific hybrid functions and for more information, refer
to the "Hybrid System" section.

22
The HYbrid4 technology allows two sources of energy to be associated in an effective manner:
the Diesel HDi engine, which drives the front
wheels and the electric motor, which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the hybrid modeselected and the driving conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power for
the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for running at slowspeed and low load. It also assists the Dieselengine when moving off, accelerating and changing gear.
The battery that powers the electric motor is
recharged during phases of deceleration andstores the energy for subsequent use.1

- Inser t the electronic key in the switch or if the vehicle is fitted with Keyless Entry and Starting, keep the electronic key in the
vehicle.
- Ensure that the gear lever is in position N.

ode.



Moving off




- While maintaining pressure on the brake pedal, move the gear lever to position A
to go forwards, or Rfor reverse.

- Ta k e y o u r foot off the brake pedal; you cannow move off.

- The parking brake is released automatically as you move off.


- Press the brake pedal
firmly.

Main parts of the HYbrid4 system

The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fitted with the Stop & Start
system - 5
which recharges the batteries and provides additional
power when needed (in 4x4 mode).

Th
e electric motor - 2
, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or supplements the
Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the vehicle and is
active up to 70 mph (120 km / h).

A 200 V NI-MH high voltage battery - 3
, provides a source of energy for the rear electric motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of deceleration.
It is located in a compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained service
technicians.

The batter
y state of chargeis indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).

The conventional battery, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is yrecharged automatically by the high voltage network.

24
Hybrid system
The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the two power units(Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inver ter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inver ter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current coming from the high
voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and 270 volts.
The trans
former conver ts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillary
systems.
Th
e Stop & Star t system - 5
allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during stops (traffic
lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restar ting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and
transparent for the driver.
Th
e electronicgear controlgearbox - 6 provides, in automatic mode, significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

Starting your vehicle and moving off




- Inser t the electronic key in the switch,
or if your vehicle has Keyless Entry and Starting, keep the electronic key in the
vehicle.



-
Ensure that the gear lever is in position N.

- Press firmly on the brake pedal.



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

- Lift your foot off the brake pedal, you canmove off.

- The parking brake is released automatically
as
you move off.
- Pr
ess the START/STOP
button or turn
the key fully towards the dashboard to
position 3(Starting), to star t the hybrid system.

-
The instrument panel and the Readylamp light up. The power graduation is displayed progressively, indicating that the
hybrid system is active, confirmed by
a messa
ge in the screen; the dial in the centre console is in AUTO
mode (default
mode for star ting).
- The hybrid system determines whether it is
necessary to star t the Diesel engine.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be very careful of pedestrians as they will not hear you coming.

Stopping your vehicle and the hybrid system




- With the electronic key inside the vehicle,
then press the START/STOPbutton or turn
the key fully off to position 1 (stop) then
remove the key from the ignition switch;
the parking brake is applied automatically if configured to do so.



-
Otherwise apply the parking brake manually, the Pwarning lamp must be on. - Apply the brake until the vehicle comes to acomplete stop.
- Place the gear lever in position N.


When stationary, switch off the ignition and check that the Readylamp is off before leaving the vehicle. Otherwise the hybrid system will still be active.See the section on "Underbonnet precautions/warnings".

Anti-theft protection
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.
