Hybrid system














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.

HYbrid4 frequently asked questions
ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode
Question Answer
Wh
y is it not always possible for me to put the vehicle
into ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even though
the battery is well charged?
This situation is temporary.
Cer tain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to ZEV mode, even if the battery
has sufficient charge, such as, for example, very cold conditions, altitude, demisting, high
demand for heating or air conditioning, regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter (PEF).
Why do I sometimes see an aler t message "Electric
mode not available: PEF regeneration in progress"?
This is an message relating to the regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter (PEF). This
is a completely normal process that takes place every 240 or 300 miles (400 or 500 km) (or
more frequently in prolonged urban use), as on a conventional HDi vehicle.
This process is not generally noticed by the driver.

On the other hand, in the case of a hybrid, this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urbanuse) as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at
inter vals while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible
for me to put the vehicle into ZEV mode, even though I had just been runningelectrically in Auto mode? The management o
f ZEV is different from Auto mode.
Changing to ZEV mode is only possible with a battery charge of at least 4 bars, in order to
assure sufficient range.
In Auto mode, the system alone manages the conditions for changing temporarily to electric
mode, for shorter periods and with a lower state of charge of the battery.
Wh
y is the range in ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode lower when climbing? The vehicle needs more energy when climbing than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in Auto mode, which will favour operation of the Diesel engine.
Wh
y is it that the system makes me come out of ZEV(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode; it does not return toZEV automatically when the conditions allow? It is not intended to
give preference to ZEV running at any cost, as it is not always the mosteconomical mode.
So the system returns automatically to Auto mode.

Hybrid system
Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It
seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electricwhen the heating or air conditioning is operating, is
that right? The demand for heatin
g or air conditioning may require the star ting of the Diesel engine until
the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal hybrid operation is simply put back. The period can be higher under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is ver
y hot and the air conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for shor ter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel en
gine is put on standby and the vehicle runs on electric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the temperature in
the vehicle and the level of comfort selected.
In very hot weather, it is always possible to press the Eco OFF button (which brings the
vehicle out of ZEV mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give
preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
Special HYbrid4 features
Question Answer

Can I tow with my hybrid vehicle and how much? A HYbrid4 vehicle can tow between 500 kg and 800 kg (see the "Towing" section).
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
The "technical" reason for the limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for
the internal combustion engine as well as the hybrid components that are also cooled by theengine's cooling system.
Wh
y does engine braking seem so strong? When you take your foot off the accelerator, the engine braking results mainly from the energy recovery by the electric motor.
This leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the recovery of free energy.

Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations


Diesel engine pre-heatingfixed. The START/STOPswitch hasbeen pressed (ignition on).Wait until the warning lamp goes off before star ting.Once it goes off, star ting is immediate, on condition that the brakepedal remains pressed for automatic or electronic gearboxes, or theclutch pedal is pressed fully down for manual gearboxes.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is determined by theambient conditions (up to about thir ty seconds in extreme conditions).
If the engine does not star t, switch the ignition off and then on, waituntil the warning lamp goes off again, then start the engine.


Parking brakefixed. The parking brake is applied or
not properly released.Release the parking brake to switch off the warning lamp, keepingyour foot on the brake pedal. Observe the safety recommendations.
For fur ther information on the parking brake, refer to the "Parkingbrake" section.
Deactivation of the automatic functions of the electric parkingbrake
fixed. The "automatic application" (on switching off the engine) and"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function
(according to country) via the vehicle configuration menu or contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic application / release is not possible.
The parking brake can be released manually using the emergencyrelease procedure.
For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.

Head restraint height and angle adjustment
)To lower the head restraint, press the lugA and, going beyond the stiff point, guide
the head restraint downwards, then release
the button at the desired position.
)To raise the head restraint, guide it upwards to the desired position.)To remove the head restraint, press the two lugs B and pull the head restraint upwards. )To put the head restraint back in place,
engage the head restraint stems in the
openings keeping them in line with the seat
back. Check that it has engaged by pulling it upwards.

The head restraint is fitted with a locking mechanism which prevents itfrom lowering; this is a safety device incase of impact.The adjustment is correct when theupper edge of the head restraint is level with the top of the head.Never drive with the head restraintsremoved; they must be in place andadjusted correctly.
