For economical driving, caring for the environment
the fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly :
- a ccording to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),
-
a

ccording to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.
Main recommendations for driving economically
Hybrid mode selector
to optimise fuel consumption, use the Auto mode of the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
th

is mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other
modes, which are for use in particular cases.
Gear lever
use the automatic mode A as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.
Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at
steady speeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible.
Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than
braking.
t
h
e movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows
the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy
consumption. Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.
Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof bars, loaded
or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Observe the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine
servicing.

Interior
Interior mood lighting
this subdued passenger compartment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low light
conditions.
Head-up display
this system projects speed and cruise control/
speed limiter information onto a smoked strip
in the driver's field of vision, so that they do not
need to take their eyes off the road.
Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfort, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.
Audio and communication system
this system benefits from the latest
technology: MP3 compatible audio system,
uS

B player, Bluetooth hands-free system,
satellite navigation system with colour screen,
auxiliary inputs, Hi-Fi audio system, ...
Dual-zone
Quad-zone If your vehicle is fitted with a
JBL Hi-Fi audio system, this
is designed specifically for the
passenger compartment of your
vehicle.
Refer to the "Audio and telematics"
section.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available
the internal combustion engine may restart
or ZeV mode may not be available in the
various conditions presented below.
th

e internal combustion engine can be
switched off automatically as soon as these
conditions are lifted.

During this FAP regeneration phase, electric
running is purposely made unavailable and
is accompanied by a message " Electric
mode not available: FA P regeneration in
progress ".

HYbrid4 frequently asked questions
ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode
QuestionAnswer
Why is it not always possible for me to put the vehicle
into Z
eV (

Zero
e
m

issions Vehicle) mode even though
the battery is well charged?
th

is situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to Z
eV m

ode, 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 particle filter (FAP).
Why do I sometimes see an alert message "
el

ectric
mode not available: FAP regeneration in progress"?
th

is is an message relating to the regeneration of the particle filter (FAP). t
h
is 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.
th

is process is not generally noticed by the driver.
On the other hand, in the case of a hybrid, this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban
use) as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at
intervals while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible for me to put the vehicle into
Z
eV m

ode, even though I had just been running
electrically in Auto mode?
th

e management of Z
eV i
s different from Auto mode.
Changing to Z
eV m

ode 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.
Why is the range in Z
eV (

Zero e
m
issions Vehicle)
mode lower when climbing?
th

e 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.
Why is it that the system makes me come out of Z
eV
(

Zero
e
m

issions Vehicle) mode; it does not return to
Z
eV a

utomatically when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give preference to Z
eV r

unning at any cost, as it is not always the most
economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to Auto mode.

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).

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.

eco-driving
eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Eco-driving suited to your
HYbrid4 vehicle
use gear selector position A, as this
optimises gear changes to suit the
circumstances, and the AUTO mode of the
HYbrid4 mode selector.
When moving off, accelerate normally
up to the desired speed ( POWER zone
between 20 and 40 %).
At steady speeds, drive gently with small
movements of the accelerator pedal ( ECO or
CHARGE zone), run in electric mode as often
as possible when driving at low speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down and use
engine braking ( CHARGE zone), so as to
make use of free energy recovery while
keeping light pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help 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 foglamps
when the level of light does not require
their


use. Avoid running the Diesel engine when
stationary, particularly in winter; your vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
the air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Controls
the incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the front passenger and rear
passengers, according to the level of
equipment.
th
e temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
th

e air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compartment by the combined use of the
associated buttons.
th

e air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
