Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available

The internal combustion engine may restar t or ZEV mode may not be available in the various conditions presented below.

The internal combustion engine can be switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted. When the conditions described below causethe vehicle to come out of ZEV mode and the Diesel engine to restar t, the vehicleautomatically changes to AUTO mode.
Diffi cult weather conditions and circumstances
- If certain conditions or engine
temperature requirements make it necessary (such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambient conditions). - When the battery is close to maximum charge (for example: when goingdown a long hill), because enginerecovery being no longer possible, theinternal combustion engine restarts automatically just to provide engine braking.- If the vehicle encounters a steep slope (car park ramp, ...).- If the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a prolonged period.- When driving in mountainous conditions (altitude).
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effectiveemissions control systems, in par ticular theParticle Emissions Filter (PEF). At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.
Maintaining the performance of the system
- When the vehicle exceeds 18 mph
(30 km/h) after moving off (if the internal combustion engine has not alreadystarted since the vehicle was last started). - If the high voltage battery is notsufficiently charged. A minimum of 4 bars in ZEV mode so as to ensure operation over a cer tain distance (in AUTO, electric operation isaccessible for a shor ter period witha lower level of charge). - When the fuel level enters the reserve zone (where rate of consumption of this reserve is high, ZEV inhibition maycontinue for some time after refuelling).- During regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter, which occurs
automatically for 5 to 10 minutes, approximately every 300 miles(500 kms) (or less in extended urban running).


Action by the driver



- Moving the gear selector to position M.

- Action on steering mounted controlpaddles to change gear.

- Sustained and sharp acceleration.

- Use of demisting.

- Use of air conditioning.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations
on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.



Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Underbonnet precautions / warnings

Always ensure that the
ignition is switched off (Ready lamp off) before opening the bonnet.
The alternator-star ter motor of
your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk o
f the engine restar ting at any time.
Also ensure that the ignition is switched off when refuelling to avoid the enginerestarting.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 72 litres.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel t
ype for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).


Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you start theengine.



- Press the switch.
This control remains active for a fewminutes after switching off the ignition.If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

Refuelling
)
Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully(pushing on the the metal non-return
valve A). A) Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions. )
Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right. ) Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
You must switch off theengine by stopping the
hybrid system (the Readylamp must be off) to avoid
any automatic restar t of the engine while
refuelling.

Access
Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument
panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 7 litresof fuelremain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.


It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.


Diesel misfuel prevention

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol
filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.

Operation



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
travel.

Comfort
)Select:
- immediate to star t the heating or
ventilation
(once confirmed "OK"),
- the first clock to programme/store your departure time,
- the second clock to programme/store a
second depar ture time.



The immediate or programmedactivation of Ventilation mode depends on the temperatures inside and outsidethe vehicle.
Depending on the departure time chosen, the system calculates automatically the optimum
time to star t operating.
Using these two clocks and according to season you can, for example, select one or the other depar ture time. A message in the instrument panel screen confirms your choice.
Only one programmed or immediatepreheating/preventilation can beactivated between two starts of thevehicle.
The heating and the ventilation inimmediate or programmable mode isnot activated when: - the fuel level is too low,- the battery is not sufficientlycharged.
To p r ogramme the heating and the
ventilation, it is necessary to firstdeactivate the alarm volumetricmonitoring (see "Alarm").


Always switch off the programmableheating while refuelling to avoid any riskof fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication andasphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
