Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available
the internal combustion engine may restart
or ZeV mode may not be available in the
various conditions presented below.
th

e internal combustion engine can be
switched off automatically as soon as these
conditions are lifted.
When the conditions described below cause
the vehicle to come out of Z
eV m

ode and
the Diesel engine to restart, the vehicle
automatically changes to A
u

t
O m
ode.Difficult weather conditions
and circumstances
- If certain conditions or engine temperature requirements make
it necessary (such as an engine
temperature that is too low for the
ambient conditions).
-

W
hen the battery is close to maximum
charge (for example: when going
down a long hill), because engine
recovery being no longer possible, the
internal combustion engine restarts
automatically just to provide engine
braking.

(altitude).
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effective
emissions control systems, in particular the
Particle Filter (FAP).
At regular intervals your Diesel engine will
produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.
During this FAP regeneration phase, electric
running is purposely made unavailable and
is accompanied by a message " Electric
mode not available: FA P regeneration in
progress ".
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 already
started since the vehicle was last
star ted).
-

I
f the high voltage battery is not
sufficiently charged. A minimum of
4 bars in Z
eV m

ode so as to ensure
operation over a certain distance
(in A
utO

, electric operation is
accessible for a shorter period with a
lower level of charge).

zone (where rate of consumption of
this reserve is high, Z

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). u
s
e 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 aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. When refuelling, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record. At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
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.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, to avoid the risk of serious
injury switch off the ignition and verify
that the Ready lamp in the dashboard
is of f.
Also ensure that the ignition is switched
off when refuelling to avoid the engine
restarting.
th

e alternator-starter motor of your hybrid
vehicle is also supplied at high voltage. If the
vehicle ignition has not been switched off, there
is a risk of the engine restarting at any time.

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 the
engine


by stopping the
hybrid system (the Ready
lamp must be off) to avoid
any automatic restart of the
engine while refuelling.

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.
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 can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel 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.
t
h
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
Operation
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the P
e

uge
Ot
dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Depending on the departure time chosen, the
system calculates automatically the optimum
time to start operating.
us

ing these two clocks and according
to season you can, for example, select
one or the other departure time.
A message in the instrument panel
screen confirms your choice. Only one programmed or immediate
preheating/preventilation can be
activated between two starts of the
vehicle.
the

heating and the ventilation in
immediate or programmable mode is
not activated when:
-

t
he fuel level is too low,
-

t
he battery is not sufficiently
charged.
to p

rogramme the heating and the
ventilation, it is necessary to first
deactivate the alarm volumetric and tilt
monitoring (see the "Alarm" section). Always switch off the programmable
heating while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
to a

void the risk of intoxication and
asphyxiation, 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.
