HYBRID SYSTEM
40
200 V HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
200 V high voltage battery is located
below the boot fl oor, close to the electric
motor. It is not recharged from a mains
supply.
Charging
This recovery allows the use of "free"
energy.
The battery charging time is very short
and is continuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV
running or high load, for example) will
quickly return to a state of charge suf-
fi cient for full operation of the different
hybrid modes.
The recharge takes place automatically
when driving .
The energy recovery can be faster during
deceleration.
This system does not work continuous-
ly, but adapts the force of the ventilation
to the requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear,
even if the vehicle is stopped after a
run.
If the air intake is blocked, the battery
may overheat, damaging the battery
and causing a loss of performance of
the hybrid system.
VENTILATION FOR THE HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recom-
mendations:
- do not obstruct the air intake with loose articles, otherwise, the battery
may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system
- do not spill fl uids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then be-
coming a generator and converts kinetic
energy into electrical energy (except if
the speed of the vehicle is above 70 mph
(120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a
mains supply.
The battery may also be charged auto-
matically when required by the Stop &
Start system of the Diesel engine.
To preserve the service life of
the battery, the level of charge
never falls below 20 %, even
if a level of 0 bars is displayed
after ZEV running.
The high voltage battery has an air
cooling system, comprising an air in-
take located under the left hand rear
seat and a fan behind the left hand boot
trim panel.
