Engine coolant temperature
indicator


With the engine running:
– In z one A, the temperature is correct.
–

In z
one B, the temperature is too high; the
associated warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on in red on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
After switching off the ignition, carefully
open the bonnet and check the coolant
level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot function
without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the reserve
level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 and
0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when the ignition
is switched on and an estimate of the distance
that can be travelled before engine starting is
prevented is displayed in the instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the engine
until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has been
topped up.
Manual display of the range
While the driving range is greater than 1,500 miles
(2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically.
You can view the range information by
pressing the "Check" button in the touch
screen’s Driving / Vehicle menu.
Actions required related to a lack of
AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve level
corresponding to a range of 1,500 miles (2,400
km).
Together with the warning lamps, messages
regularly remind you of the need to top up to avoid
engine starting being prevented. Refer to the
Warning and indicator lamps section for details of
the messages displayed.
For more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines), and in particular on topping up,
refer to the corresponding section.

battery (Electric)
To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic
electrical system (for domestic or accelerated
charging) or a fast charging station (for fast
charging).
For a full charge, follow the desired charging
procedure without pausing it, until it ends
automatically. Charging may be performed either
immediately or deferred.
You can stop charging at any time by unlocking
the vehicle and removing the nozzle.
For more information on the charging displays on
the Instrument panel and the Touch screen, refer
to the corresponding section.
Depending on version, the deferred charge
function is configured via either the touch
screen or the MyDS application.
For more information on the deferred charge
function, refer to the corresponding section.
A LED, located below the interior rear view
and visible from outside the vehicle,
flashes in blue for a few minutes to confirm
the start of the charging.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
process using the MyDS application.
For more information on Remotely operable
features, refer to the corresponding section.
As a safety measure, the engine will not
start if the charging cable is plugged into
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is
displayed on the instrument panel.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during charging
to cool the on-board charger and the traction
battery.
Vehicle unused for an extended period
Fully recharge the traction battery every
three months. Follow the domestic charging
procedure.
Before carrying out the charging operation,
check that the accessory battery is not
disconnected or discharged. If it is, refer to
the corresponding section for information on
reconnecting or recharging it.
Precautions
Electric vehicles were developed in accordance
with the guidelines on maximum electromagnetic
fields issued by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP - 1998
Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to enquire
about any applicable precautionary measures, or
contact the manufacturer of their implanted
electronic medical device to check that it is
guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt
Domestic or accelerated charging: do
not remain inside or near the vehicle, or near
the charging cable or charging unit, even for a
short time.
Fast charging: do not use the system yourself
and avoid approaching public fast charging
points. Leave the area and ask a third party to
recharge the vehicle.
For domestic or accelerated charging
Before charging
Depending on the context:
►  Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►  Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
(During charging)
Never work under the bonnet:
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts or
strangulation!

Practical information07
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run:
–

For le
ss than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 5 minutes.
–

For more than 10 minut
es, to use the equipment
for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer
to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain functions
according to the level of charge remaining in the
battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning
and the heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.

lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
