s
ystem
- Press the brake pedal.
- Make a single shor t press (about one second) on the START/STOP
button or
turn the key fully towards the dashboard toposition 3(Starting).
- The steerin
g column unlocks (noise and
noticeable movement).


- Place the
gear selector in position N.

- If the vehicle has Keyless Entry and Starting, simply having the key inside the
vehicle is sufficient.

- Other wise, it is necessary to place the key
in the i
gnition switch.


- Keep your
foot on the brake pedal until the HYbrid4 system starts up (the instrument panel and the Ready
lamp come on,confirmed by an audible signal).
The hybrid system determines whether it is
necessary to star t the Diesel engine.

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 minutes after 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 key towards the dashboard to the
intermediate position or with the Keyless Entry
and
Starting 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 "STA R T/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on
but the en
gine does not star t. )Press the button again to switch
off the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.



If you use the accessories positionfor too long, the system automaticallychanges to economy mode to avoid discharging the battery.

Emergency switch- off using theelectronic key

In the event of an emergency only, the engine can be switched of without conditions. To do
this, press and hold the "START/STOP" button
for about 3 seconds.
In this case the steering column locks as soon
as the vehicle stops.
if the electronic key is no longer in the defined zone when you request switching off the engine,
a message appears in the instrument panel.
) Press and hold the "STA R T/STOP" buttonfor about 3 seconds if you want to force switching off the engine (note that restarting
will not be possible without the key).

Electronic key not recognised bythe "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system
If the electronic key is no longer in the defined
zone when driving or when you (later) request switching off of the hybrid system, a message
appears in the instrument panel.
Once the engine has started, you can remove the electronic key and close thehousing.
)Press and hold the "STA R T/STOP" button for about 3 seconds if you want to forceswitching off of the hybrid system (note that restarting will not be possible without theelectronic key in the defined zone).
The electronic key must always remaininside the vehicle while in use.

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.

30
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 "electric mode is not currentlyavailable" appears in the screen. The ZEV
warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off and the selector comes on in AUTO.
In ZEV mode:


- 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 therequired conditions are met, particularly if the state of charge of high voltage battery is sufficient (from 4 bars).

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 snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud,sand, ...).
In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you accelerate strongly to ensure that you move off and avoid any risk of getting stuck.
The addition of 4WD traction isavailable whatever:


- the state of charge of the traction battery,

- the altitude.
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 vehicle
can 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 (partially or par ticularlywith your foot off the accelerator (to use
in preference as this gives better energy recovery).
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.
Zone 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

Hybrid system
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.
You can maximise this energy recovery by taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal, deceleration will then be less marked than
with
a conventional vehicle.
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 Emission" indicates that the Diesel engine
is off and the vehicle is producing no CO2.

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 andis accompanied by a message "Electricmode not available: PEF regeneration inprogress
".
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 is accessiblefor a shorter period with a 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).
