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.
th
e 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.
th

ese two motors can operate alternately or
simultaneously, according to the hybrid mode
selected and the driving conditions.
th

e electric motor alone provides power for
the vehicle in "Z
eV

" (Zero e
m
issions Vehicle)
mode, and in "Auto" mode for running at slow
speed and low load. It also assists the Diesel
engine when moving off, accelerating and
changing gear.
th

e battery that powers the electric motor is
recharged during phases of deceleration and
stores the energy for subsequent use. 1.

Hybrid system

14
508RXH_en_Chap00c_systeme-hybride_ed01-2014
the electronic power super visor - 4 automatically manages the operation of the two power units
(Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
th
e inverter 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.
th

e transformer converts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillary
systems.
th

e alternator-starter motor - 5 assures the Stop & Star t function which 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.
th

e stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and
transparent for the driver.
It also provides additional charging of the batteries (4x4 mode for example or under-charged high
voltage battery).
th

e electronic gearbox - 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.

"SPORT" mode
(Diesel and
electric)
this mode allows more dynamic driving by
providing additional performance.
Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
th

is mode manages the response of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use
of the electric motor.
In "SPOR
t" m

ode:
-
t
h
e electric motor can be used up to
75 mph (120 km/h).
"4WD" mode*
(Diesel and
electric)
this mode provides additional traction ** at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle
continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)
operate simultaneously and permanently.
th

eir coupling is managed electronically to
optimise traction when grip is poor.
In 4WD mode:
-

P
ower for the electric motor is provided, if
necessary, by the alternator-starter motor
of the front engine.
t
h
e Diesel engine
operates continuously.
-
t
h
e additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).th is 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 facilitate moving off and
reduce the risk of getting stuck.
th

e addition of "4WD" traction is
available whatever:
-

t
he state of charge of the traction
battery,
-

t
he 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.
th

is value will vary with vehicle load,
the nature of the ground sur face and
the surroundings.
If the driver considers that the vehicle
can traverse an obstacle, they assume
entire responsibility for this.
* "4WD": 4 Wheel Drive.
**
t
h
is mode will be even more effective if tyres
more suitable for the conditions are fitted
("winter" tyres in particular). When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking pace.

Once it goes off, starting is immediate, on condition that the brake
pedal remains pressed with an automatic or electronic gearbox, or
the clutch pedal is pressed fully down with a manual gearbox.
th

the ambient conditions (up to about thirty seconds in severe winter
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.

choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.

-

a
utomated mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
-

m

by the driver.
In automated mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles as desired, when
overtaking, for example.
