Familiarisation
For economical driving, caring for the environment
The fuel consumptionof a vehicle varies greatly:
- according to the driver's style of driving
(moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),
- according to the type of journeys
made (urban, main road, motorway, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.
Main recommendations for driving economically
Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the Automodeof the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in par ticular cases.
Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.
Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone
displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive atsteady speeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible. Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than
braking. The movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows
the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energyconsumption. Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.
Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded
or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Obser ve the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The s
ystem is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted b
y the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"symbol is displayed in the screen.

Driving
When you have identified a parking space:
)Put the gear selector in position A
. )Press button Ato star t the system. )Operate the direction indicator on theside where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress. )During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre. )Once the measurement has beencompleted, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is toogreat, the system may not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession. In poor or wintry weather, ensure thatthe sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow. The parking space sensor systemdeactivates the front parking sensorswhen measuring forwards.
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The s
ystem switches itself off automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when
you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of switching on thesystem,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
o
f 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

Checks
6-speed electronic
gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warrantybooklet for details of the checking
interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
Brake pads
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, thisindicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first par ticle filter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle,you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The 100% electric mode is not available
during regeneration of the par ticleemissions filter.
have the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.
