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.

22

The 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.

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

The electric motor alone provides power for the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions 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.

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

For economical driving, caring for the environment

The fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly:

-according to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),

-according to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motorway, 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.

This 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. The 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 rack, 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.

Main parts of the HYbrid4 system

The HDi Diesel engine - 1 , located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.

It is fitted with the Stop & Start system - 5 which recharges the batteries and provides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).

The electric motor - 2, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or supplements the Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.

It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the vehicle and is active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).

A 200 V NI-MH high voltage battery - 3, provides a source of energy for the rear electric motor. Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of deceleration.

It is located in a compartment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained service technicians.

The battery state of charge is indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).

The conventional battery, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is recharged automatically by the high voltage network.

23

Hybrid system

The electronic power supervisor - 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.

The 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.

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

The Stop & Start system - 5 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. The stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and transparent for the driver.

The 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.

-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 start the Diesel engine.

Switching the HYbrid4 system off

-Before switching off the HYbrid4 system, place the gear selector in position N.

-Make a short press on the START/STOP button or turn the key fully off to position (Stop) then remove the key from the ignition switch.

-The system shuts down and the steering column locks.

When stationary, ensure that the ignition is switched off and check that the Ready lamp is off when you want to leave the vehicle, otherwise the hybrid system will still be active.

For more information, refer to the "Underbonnet precautions / warnings" section.

When your vehicle vehicle moves off in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be very careful of pedestrians as they will not hear you coming.

26

the engine (accessory position)

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 "START/STOP" button, the instrument panel comes on but the engine does not start. Press the button again to switch off the ignition and so allow the vehicle to be locked.

If you use the accessories position for too long, the system automatically changes to economy mode to avoid discharging the battery.

Anti-theft protection

Electronic engine immobiliser

The keys contain an electronic chip which has a 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 engine 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; contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

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 "START/STOP" button for about 3 seconds if you want to force switching off the engine (note that restarting will not be possible without the key).

The electronic key must always remain inside the vehicle while in use.

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.

Press and hold the "START/STOP" button for about 3 seconds if you want to force switching off of the hybrid system (note that restarting will not be possible without the electronic key in the defined zone).
