PEUGEOT 3008 HYbrif4 Handbook page 6

PRESENTATION OF THE HYbrid4 SYSTEM
Thank you for choosing a 3008 HYbrid4;
this vehicle has characteristics that are
different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the
specifi c hybrid functions and for more
information, refer to the "Hybrid System"
section.
The HYbrid4 technology allows two
sources of energy to be associated in an
effective manner: that of the Diesel HDi
engine which drives the front wheels and
that of the electric motor which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alter-
nately or simultaneously, according to
the hybrid mode selected and the driving
conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power
for the vehicle in "ZEV" (Zero Emissions
Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for
running at slow speed and low load. It
also assists the Diesel engine when
moving off, accelerating and changing
gear.
The battery that powers the electric mo-
tor recharges itself during phases of
deceleration and stores the energy for
subsequent use.
