Snow chains

Recommendations

The use of snow chains is only authorised on
the front wheels.
The mode selector must be in
the

4WD position.

For information on the sizes
compatible with the tyres on your
vehicle and advice on use, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.

Temporary puncture repair kit

This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows you to carry out a

temporary repair to a tyre.

This makes it possible to continue to the nearest garage.

This kit is stowed in the storage well behind the
rear seats.


Fold the 2/3 part of the rear seat for access

to it.



Raise the cover of the storage well.

It can be used for repairing most
punctures on the tread or shoulder of
the tyre.
The compressor can be used to check
and adjust a tyre pressure.

For more information on the use of this
temporary puncture repair kit, refer
to the corresponding section in the
handbook for the vehicle.

Recovery of the vehicle on a ﬂ at-bed

Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position

N , then switch off the HYbrid4 system ( READY lamp off).

READY

Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.

Use the towing eye

only to pull the vehicle out

or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.

The towing eye is stowed in the storage well
behind the rear seats.


Fold the 2/3 part of the rear seat for access

to it.

towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).

Frequently asked questions

508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016

Frequently asked questions

Question

Answer

Why is it not always possible for me to select

ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even

though the battery seems well charged?

This situation is temporary.
Certain 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 particle filter (FAP).

Why do I sometimes see an alert message
"

Electric mode not available: FAP

regeneration in progress" ?

This is a message which indicates that regeneration of the particle filter (FAP) is in progress. 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 Diesel vehicle.
In the case of a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle, this process is not generally noticed by the
driver.
On the other hand, in the case of HYbrid4 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

ZEV mode, even though I had just been

running electrically in

AUTO mode?

The management of

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.

Why is the range in

ZEV mode lower when going

uphill?

The vehicle needs more energy when going uphill than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in

AUTO mode, which will favour operation of the HDi Diesel engine.

Why is it that the system makes me come out
of

ZEV mode; it does not return to ZEV mode

automatically when the conditions allow?

It is not intended to give preference to

ZEV running at any cost, as it is not always the most

economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to

AUTO mode.

Frequently asked questions

508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016

Reducing consumption / Fuel

Question

Answer

How can I optimise my fuel consumption?

Give preference to

AUTO mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to use in

order to reduce fuel consumption.
You should also adapt your driving style to the characteristics of hybrid vehicles to get the best
out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking and by
anticipating decelerations which allows the recovery of "free" energy for charging the battery
(entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt signs, ...).

Why do I not manage to reduce my fuel
consumption even though I often drive in

ZEV

(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode?

It is not

ZEV mode but AUTO mode that is the most appropriate for reducing fuel consumption, as

it selects the best "driving energy source".

ZEV mode (100% electric running) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However,

recharging the traction battery has an energy cost.
This is why we recommend using

AUTO mode more often.

Why does the fuel consumption histogram
sometimes display consumption of 28 mpg
(10 litres/100 km) in town?

In traffic jams, the fuel consumption graph may temporarily display high values but, as the
distance covered is low, this has very little impact on the average fuel consumption.
In urban driving, your HYbrid4 will remain more efficient in terms of fuel consumption compared to
a conventional vehicle.

Why is my battery rarely fully charged?

A partly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in

AUTO mode).

This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery of energy when decelerating.

Why are there so many fuel alert messages
when starting to use the reserve?

To encourage you to refuel as soon as possible and to avoid loosing the possibility of all electric
running.

Frequently asked questions

508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016

Air conditioning / Heating

Question

Answer

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 HDi Diesel engine until
the desired level of comfort is attained.
Normal operation of the HYbrid4 system is simply put back. The period can be longer under very
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 HDi 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 possible to press the "

ECO OFF " button (which brings the vehicle out

ZEV mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give preference to

temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).

Miscellaneous

Question

Answer

Is towing possible with my HYbrid4 vehicle?

For information on the towing ability of your HYbrid4 vehicle, refer to "Weights and towed loads" in
the "Technical data" section.
This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example.
This limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for the HDi Diesel engine as well as
the components of the HYbrid4 system that are also cooled by the engine's cooling system.

Why does engine braking seem so strong?

If the high voltage battery is not fully charged, the engine braking results mainly from the energy
recovery by the electric motor. The power of this engine braking is higher than that of an internal
combustion engine.
