E-TECH FULL HYBRID

As with any battery, it discharges

when it is used. The traction battery

is charged:

– during the vehicle deceleration

phases;

– when the combustion engine

starts automatically in order to act

as a generator.

Your vehicle range in electric oper-

ating mode depends on the charge

level of the traction battery, and also

on your driving style and the compo-

nents consuming energy (air condi-

tioning, heating system etc.).

needs to be recharged: leave the en-

gine on until the warning light is dis-

played in blue (ꢀ 107).

Failure to do so may result in dam-

age to the traction battery and

make it impossible to start the vehi-

cle.

5 Combustion engine

The hybrid vehicle system uses an

electric motor to improve the perfor-

mance of the combustion engine

(acceleration, starting etc.).

The vehicle has more acceleration

torque available while consuming

less fuel.

Secondary "12 V" battery

The secondary "12 V" battery, locat-

ed in the luggage compartment,

supplies the energy required to

open/close the vehicle and to oper-

ate the equipment.

The vehicle may also move in all-

electric operating mode without any

assistance from the combustion en-

gine. The vehicle uses energy stored

in the "230 V" traction battery.

The vehicle's air conditioning sys-

tem is used to cool the traction bat-

tery. To preserve the lifetime of your

traction battery, have your air condi-

tioning system checked by a quali-

fied professional. Especially if you

notice a reduction in air conditioning

performance.

In the event of traction battery dis-

charge, the combustion engine

alone moves the vehicle until the

traction battery is sufficiently

recharged.

Note: the secondary "12 Volts" bat-

tery does not participate when the

engine is started. This is ensured by

the hybrid system.

Batteries

The hybrid vehicle is equipped with

two types of battery:

– a "230 V" traction battery;

– a secondary "12 V" battery.

"230 volt" traction battery

If your vehicle is parked for a long

time, start the engine at regular in-

tervals (about once a month) and

"230 V" electrical circuit

The electrical system

of the hybrid vehicle

uses direct voltage of

approximately 230 V.

2

This system can get hot during

and after switching off the igni-

tion. Observe the warning mes-

sages on the labels in the vehi-

cle.

All operations on or modifica-

tions to the "230 V" electrical

system (components, cables,

connectors, traction battery)

are strictly prohibited due to the

risks they present to your safe-

ty. Call an approved dealer.

The risk of serious burns or elec-

tric shocks can lead to death.

The "230 V" electrical circuit can be

recognised by orange cables 6 and

The A symbol identifies the electri-

cal elements in your vehicle which

may present safety risks.

parts bearing the

symbol.

Noise

The hybrid vehicles are particularly

quiet in electric operating mode.

You will not yet necessarily be used

to it, and neither will other road

users. It is difficult for them to hear

your vehicle when it is moving.

As the electric motor is silent, you

will hear other noises that may seem

unusual (aerodynamic noises, tyres,

etc.) as well as noises due to the op-

eration of the hybrid system (e.g.

cooling of the traction battery).

tem is activated automatically.

Energy flow

The display varies according to in-

strument panel B and C .

The sound is emitted when the vehi-

cle speed is between approximately

1 and 19 mph (1 and 30 km/h).

For further information on the

pedestrian horn, refer to the multi-

media instructions.

In the event of a fault with the

pedestrian horn, the

Warnings

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

2

– No modification must be made to the originally-fitted restraint system components (seat belts, seats and

their mountings). For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) please contact an approved dealer.

– Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.), as a seat belt which is

worn too loosely risks causing injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt

around them.

– The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as

soon as they show any signs of wear.

– When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so

that they can be used properly.

– Make sure that the seat belt buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being prop-

erly secured.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people

or objects).

These systems are designed to act

independently or together when the

vehicle is subjected to a frontal im-

pact.

Depending on the severity of the im-

pact, the system can cause:

– blocking of the seat belt;

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner which is triggered to correct

seat belt slack;

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occu-

pant more securely against the seat,

thus increasing the seat belt's effi-

ciency.

– The electrical trigger system

may only be tested by a special-

ly trained technician using spe-

cial equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner

In the event of a severe frontal im-

pact and if the ignition is switched

on, the system may engage the fol-

lowing depending on the force of the

impact:

– the lap seat belt pretensioner to

hold the occupant in their seat;

– the front airbag.

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner 1 which instantly retracts the

seat belt;

– the lap seat belt inertia reel pre-

Operation

The airbag system us-

This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the

airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning

the impact of the driver's head and

chest against the steering wheel

and of the front passenger against

the dashboard. The airbags then de-

flate immediately so that the pas-

sengers are not in any way prevent-

A symbol on the lower section of the

when the airbag in-

flates, it will generate heat, pro-

duce smoke (this does not

mean that a fire is about to

start) and sound like a detona-

tion. In a situation where an

airbag deployment is required,

it will inflate immediately and

this may cause some minor, su-

perficial grazing to the skin or

other problems.

Each airbag system consists of:

– an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver

and in the dashboard for the front

passenger;

– an electronic unit for monitoring

the system controlling the gas gen-

erator electrical trigger;

Warnings

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbagis not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent

the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.

2

Warnings in relation to the driver's airbag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the boss.

– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, watch, telephone cradle, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.

– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).

– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel: sit with your arms slightly bent (see "Adjusting your driving position"

ꢀ 55). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings in relation to the passenger's airbag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard over or near the

airbag.

– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be

sustained. As a general rule, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– the devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed,

to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RE-

STRAINT SYSTEMS ARE NOT DEACTIVATED ꢀ 92.

Methods of restraint in addi-

tion to the rear seat belts

– Have the entire re-

following an accident.

Depending on the vehicle, they may

comprise:

– No operation whatsoever is

permitted on any part of the

system (pretensioners, airbags,

computers, wiring) and the sys-

tem components must not be

reused on any other vehicle,

even if identical.

–

side seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioners;

–

chest force limiters.

These systems are designed to act

independently or together when the

vehicle is subjected to a frontal im-

pact.

Depending on the severity of the im-

pact, the system can cause:

– blocking of the seat belt;

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner (which engages to correct

seat belt slack).

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the

pretensioners and airbags, oth-

erwise the system may trigger

accidentally and cause injury.

– The electrical trigger system

may only be tested by a special-

ly trained technician using spe-

cial equipment.

– If scrapping your vehicle, con-

tact an approved dealer for dis-

posal of the gas generator of

the pretensioners and airbags.

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occu-

pant more securely against the seat,

thus increasing the seat belt's effi-

ciency.

With the ignition on, following a sig-

nificant frontal impact and depend-

ing on the severity of the impact, the

system may trigger the seat belt in-

ertia reel pretensioner 1 which in-

stantly retracts the seat belt.

Above a certain severity of impact,

this mechanism is used to limit the

force of the belt against the body so

that it is at an acceptable level.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY DEVICES

Additional methods of restraint

All of the following warnings are intended to ensure that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and

also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be projected when it inflates.

2

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbag and the seat belt are inte-

gral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts

are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also

increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor in-

juries are always possible with airbags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always

triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger these sys-

tems.

– Any work or modification on any part of the airbag (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.) is strict-

ly prohibited (except by qualified personnel from the network).

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may

cause injury, only qualified personnel from the network may work on an airbag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is

stolen or broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the new purchaser of these conditions when handing over this vehicle

user manual.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

Up to 18 kg or 4 years, the child may

travel on a forward-facing seat.

Choose a seat according the child's

size: their head and abdomen are

the areas which require most pro-

tection. A forward-facing child seat

which is firmly attached to the vehi-

cle will reduce the risk of impact to

the head. Ensure your child travels in

a forward-facing seat with a har-

ness for as long as their size permits.

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can

travel using a booster seat, which

will enable the seat belt to be adapt-

ed to suit his size and shape. The

booster seat cushion must be fitted

with guides to position the seat belt

on the child’s thighs rather than the

stomach. It is recommended that

you use a seatback which can be ad-

justed in terms of height to position

the seat belt in the centre of the

shoulder. It must never rest on the

neck or on the arm.

A baby’s head is, proportionally,

heavier than that of an adult and its

neck is very fragile. Transport the

child in this position as long as possi-

ble (until the age of 2 at the very

least). It supports both the head and

the neck.

Child seat attached using theISOFIX system

Seat equipped for attaching a ISOFIX or i-Size child seat.

The front and rear seats are equipped with an anchorage point allowing an ISOFIX universal forward-facing child

seat to be attached. The anchoring points are located on the passenger seatback for the front seat and on the bench

seatback for the rear seats.

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

To install an ISOFIX seat in this seat, unbuckle the seat belt by hand before engaging the bolts.

Fitting a seat ISOFIX in the rear-left seat means the middle seat cannot be used. The central seat belt will no

longer be either accessible or useable.

faster the wipe.

When activating automatic wiping

or when increasing sensitivity, one

sweep of the blades is performed.

The rain sensor operation may be in-

terrupted in the event of:

– damaged windscreen wipers: a

film of water or traces left by a blade

in the sensor's detection zone may

increase the response time of the

automatic wiper, or increase the

wiping frequency;

– a windscreen with any chip or

crack near the sensor, or a wind-

screen covered in dust, dirt, insects,

ice, the use of washing wax and wa-

ter-repellent chemicals. The wind-

screen wiper will be less sensitive or

may even not react at all.

Note:

– the rain sensor is only intended as

a driving aid. In the event of reduced

visibility, the driver should manually

activate the wipers. In foggy weath-

er or during snowfalls, wiping is not

automatically triggered and re-

mains under the driver's control;

– in the event of temperatures be-

low zero, automatic wiping is not ac-

tivated when the vehicle is started. It

is automatically activated as soon

as the vehicle exceeds a certain

speed (approximately 5 mph (8 km/

h));

The rain sensor is located on the

windscreen, in front of the interior

rear view mirror.

A. a single sweep of the wipers

A short push will trigger one sweep

of the wipers.

– do not activate automatic wiping

in dry weather;

B. stopping

– fully de-ice the windscreen before

activating automatic wiping;

– when washing the vehicle under a

roller type car wash, set the stalk 1 to

position B to deactivate automatic

wiping.

C. automatic wiper function

When this position is selected, the

system detects water on the wind-

screen and triggers the wipers at a

suitable wiping speed.

It is possible to change the trigger-

ing threshold and the interval be-

tween sweeps by turning the ring 2 :

Operating faults

In the event of a malfunction of the

In the event of obstacles

on the windscreen (dirt,

snow, ice etc.), clean the

windscreen (including the cen-

tral area located behind the in-

terior rear view mirror) before

starting the wipers (risk of mo-

tor overheating).

If an object is preventing a

blade from moving, it may stop

functioning.

Remove the obstacle and reac-

tivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

2

Specific front wiper position (ser-

vice position)

This position enables the blades to

be lifted to remove them from the

windscreen.

It may be useful to:

– clean the blades;

– release the blades from the wind-

screen in winter;

– replace the blades ꢀ 360.

With the ignition on or engine start-

ed, lift the stalk 1 twice to position A

(single sweep).

The blades stop slightly away from

the bonnet.

To return the blades to the lowered

position, with the ignition on, ensure

that the wipers have folded down

onto the windscreen, then move the

stalk 1 to position A (single sweep).

Before any action in-

volving the windscreen

(washing the vehicle,

ger (in addition to the windscreen

washer) two sweeps of the wipers

followed, a few seconds later, by a

third (drip wiping function).

2

In the event of obstacles present on

the rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the

wiper will try to sweep away all the

obstacles. If an obstacle prevents

the blade from moving, it can be

stopped. Remove the obstacle, wait

for around 30 seconds and reacti-

vate the wiper using the wiper stalk.

When the stalk is released, it returns

to the rear wipe position.

Precautions

– In the event of ice, check that the

blades are not stuck to the wind-

screen before operating the wipers.

If you activate the wiper while the

blade is blocked by ice, you risk dam-

aging both the blade and the wiping

motor.

– Do not operate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

To do this, with the ignition off, fill up

with fuel or top up with at least ap-

proximately 2.20 gallons (10 litres)

then start the engine to operate the

cuit.

If it is not possible to add at least 1.10

gallons (5 litres) of fuel due to the fu-

el level in the tank, drive the vehicle

until the tank has capacity.

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead

to a loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not

filled with leaded petrol, the fuel

tank filler neck contains a restrictor

fitted with a foolproof system which

only allows the nozzle for unleaded

petrol to be used (at the pump).

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle

and insert it fully before turning it on

to fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout the entire filling opera-

tion.

When the pump cuts out automati-

cally at the end of the filling proce-

dure, a maximum of two further fill-

ing attempts may be made, as there

must be sufficient space in the fuel

tank to allow for expansion.

– contact an authorised dealer.

Make sure that no water enters the

fuel tank during filling.

After filling, refit the cap 3 and close

the flap 1 to prevent any water or

foreign bodies from entering the
