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.

Lower tailgate
Opening Closing
 Push the handle C to the right and tilt the tailgate D g e nt l y.  Raise the tailgate D , push it fully to close it, check that it is secured correctly.
Before opening the boot, ensure that there is nothing or anyone within the opening radius. For reasons of safety, correct operation and compliance with regulations, do not drive with the boot and the lower tailgate open. If the battery is disconnected, the boot cannot be opened. Do not climb onto the lower tailgate and do not subject it to heavy knocks, it may be damaged. Always close the lower tailgate and check that it is secured correctly before closing the boot. When closing the lower tailgate, ensure that no person or object is in the proximity of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury or damage.
Do not open the lower tailgate when a towbar is fitted.
Maximum authorised weight on the lower tailgate when open: 200 kg .

184Driving
The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation
 Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
Operating fault
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
Reactivation
 Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.

Practical information229
Towing a trailer, ...
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice Maximum trailer weight
You must not tow a trailer weighing more than 500 kg. Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or caravan, or the installation of bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the trailer is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using the vehicle's electrical pre-equipment, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
