Air conditioning
QuestionAnswer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric
when the heating or air conditioning is operating, is
that right?
the
demand for heating or air conditioning may require the starting of the Diesel engine
until the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal hybrid operation is simply put back.
t
h
e period can be longer under low or very high
ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is very hot and the air
conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for
shorter periods. Is that right? When it is hot, the periods when the Diesel engine 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
e
c
o OFF button (which brings the
vehicle out of Z
eV m
ode 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 "
to
wing" section).
th
is allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
th
e "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 the
engine's cooling system.
Why 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.
th
is leads to a higher level of deceleration than a conventional vehicle and so allows the
recovery of free energy.

eCO OFF switch
this function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that a
comfortable temperature can be maintained in
the passenger compartment (air conditioning
running continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine restarts
immediately.
to r
eturn to normal operation, press the
switch again.
After switching off the ignition, the vehicle
will return to normal operation (lamp in the
switch off).
*
e
x
cept in Z
eV m
ode, which favours electric
running over assuring a comfortable
temperature.
During electric running and when the engine is
stopped, the hybrid system manages restarting
automatically to assure comfort levels in the
passenger compartment*.
However, variations in temperature may still
be felt in very hot climates.
t
o a
void any
discomfort in these conditions you can operate
the
e
C
O OFF switch.

200 V high voltage battery
the 200 V high voltage battery cannot be
recharged from a mains supply.
th
e battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
and is located below the boot floor, close to the
electric motor.
Charging
the battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becomes
a generator and converts kinetic energy into
electrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120
km/h)).
th
e battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
th
e battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the alternator-starter motor
(Stop & Start) of the Diesel engine.
th
is recovery allows the use of "free" energy.
th
e battery charging time is very short and is
continuous.
A discharged battery (following Z
eV r
unning
or high load, for example) will quickly return to
a state of charge sufficient for full operation of
the different hybrid modes.
The charging takes place automatically
when driving .
th
e energy recovery can be faster during
deceleration.th e average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so
preserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
to p
reserve the service life of the
battery, the level of charge never falls
below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is
displayed after Z
eV r
unning.
Where the battery is close to maximum,
vehicle deceleration with your foot
off the accelerator pedal will be at a
lower
level.

conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and then on, wait
until the warning lamp goes off again, then start the engine.

Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a PeugeOt dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal identification documents.th
e Pe ugeOt dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a replacement.
Remote control
the high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
th
e remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition or take the electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even for
a short time.
Electrical interference
the Keyless en try and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a Pe ugeOt dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
