Reducing consumption - Fuel
QuestionAnswer
How can I optimise my fuel consumption? Give preference to Auto mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to use in order to reduce fuel consumption. You should also adapt your driving style to the characteristics of hybrid vehicles to get the best out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking and by anticipating decelerations (entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt signs, ...).
Why do I not manage to reduce my fuel consumption even though I often drive in ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode?
It is not ZEV mode but Auto mode that is the most appropriate for reducing fuel consumption, as it selects the best "driving energy source". ZEV mode (100% electric operation) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However, recharging the traction battery has an energy cost. This is why we recommend using Auto mode more often.
Why does the trip computer sometimes display the bars for 28 mpg (10 litres) consumption in town?
The current fuel consumption displayed may appear high when the distance covered is very low, but this generally has very little impact and the true average fuel consumption will remain low. In town, your hybrid retains very good fuel economy (of the order of 35% better than a non-hybrid vehicle).
Why is my battery rarely fully charged? A partly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in Auto mode). This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery for energy when going downhill or taking when your foot off the accelerator.
Why are there so may fuel alert messages when starting to use the reserve? To encourage you to refuel as soon as possible and avoid the loss of hybrid functions.

Choice of units
This menu allows you to select the units:
temperature (°Celsius or °Fahrenheit) and fuel consumption (l/100 km, mpg or km/l).
Vehicle parameters
This menu allows you to activate or deactivate certain driving and comfort equipment * : - wiper linked with reverse gear (refer to the "Visibility" section), - selective unlocking (refer to the "Access" section), - guide-me-home and welcome lighting (refer to the " Visibility" section),
- interior mood lighting (refer to the "Visibility" section), - directional headlamps (refer to the "Visibility" section), - automatic or manual parking brake (refer to the "Driving" section).
Indicator and warning lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched on. When the engine is started, these same warning lamps should go off. If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.
Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash. Certain warning lamps may come on in one of two different modes. Only by relating the type of illumination to the operating status of the vehicle can it be ascertained whether the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred.
Main menu
Press button 1 for access to the main menu and select one of the following functions: - " Vehicle parameters", - "Choice of language", - "Choice of units". Press button 2 or 3 to move in the screen. Press button 1 again to confirm the selection.
The main menu and its associated functions can only be accessed when stationary, via buttons 1 to 4 . A message appears in the screen, above a certain speed threshold, indicating that the main menu cannot be displayed. The trip computer displays can only be accessed while driving, via buttons 2and 3 (refer to the "Trip computer" section).

Trip computer, a few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), zeros are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Range
(miles or km) The distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank. Related to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated over the previous few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated since the last reset of the trip information.
Distance travelled
(miles or km) Calculated since the last reset of the trip information.
Average speed
(mph or km/h) Calculated since the last reset of the trip information.
Distance remaining to destination
(miles or km) This is the distance remaining to be travelled to the final destination. It is either calculated instantly by the navigation system, if guidance is activated, or entered by the user. If the distance is not entered, dashes are displayed in place of the digits.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The hybrid system and its electric motor do not provide additional range; follow the indications of the trip computer.
