Hybrid4 system
When the Hybrid4 system is
started, this indicator lamp
comes on to signal that the
vehicle is ready to move off.
Illumination of this indicator lamp is more or
less instant but may take a few seconds in
some cases (pre-heating the HDi Diesel engine
in cold weather or in energy economy mode...).
READY lamp
Never leave the Hybrid4 system on
when leaving the vehicle, or opening
the bonnet, refuelling...
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that
the READY lamp is off.
This allows the high voltage battery to be
recharged using "free" energy which can then
be reused for future energy requirements.

This zone corresponds to phases of electric
running as well as to phases of optimum use
of the HDi Diesel engine, which are easily
accessible with a suitable driving style (smooth
"eco-citizen" driving).
Indicates that the vehicle is in
an electrical energy recovery
phase: on deceleration, braking
(partially) or particularly with
your foot off the accelerator.
