Main parts of the HYbrid4 system
The Diesel 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
fi tted with the Stop & Start system 5 which recharges the batteries and pro-
vides 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.
