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 STOP warning
lamp light up 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 driving range
While the driving range is greater than 1,500 miles
(2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically.
Driving range information is accessible
using the Settings > Vehicle application on
the touch screen.
►  Then select Safety > Diagnostics.
Actions required related to a lack of
AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is below the reserve level:
driving 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) and in particular on topping up,
refer to the corresponding section.

POWER High power demand, using the
combined capabilities of the petrol
engine and the electric motor(s)
(depending on version).
The slider is located in this zone during
more dynamic driving phases when
high levels of performance are being
demanded.
ECO Optimal use of energy (internal combustion or electric).
The slider is located in this zone when
driving under electric power and when
optimal use is being made of the petrol
engine, both accessible by adopting a
suitable driving style.
A symbol indicates the threshold at
which the petrol engine will restart.
The driver can therefore moderate
their acceleration to remain in electric
driving mode.
CHARGE Energy recovery for partly recharging the traction battery.
The slider is located in this zone during
deceleration: taking your foot off the
accelerator pedal or braking.Charge level indicator
(Rechargeable hybrid)


The charge level of the traction battery and
the remaining range in electric driving mode
are permanently displayed when the vehicle is
switched on.
The range displayed depends on the use
of the vehicle (type of driving and speed),
the outside temperature and the activated
comfort equipment.
Manual test
This function allows you to check certain
indicators and display the alerts log.
The test is launched in the Settings>
Vehicle touch screen application.

Total distance recorder
The total distance recorder measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle since its initial
registration.
With the ignition on, the total distance is
displayed at all times. It remains displayed for
30 seconds after switching off the ignition. It is
displayed when the driver's door is opened, and
when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
When travelling abroad, you may have to
change the distance units (miles or km):
the displayed speed must be in the local
country’s official unit (mph or km/h).
The unit is changed via the screen's
configuration application, with the vehicle
stationary.
Lighting dimmer
Used to manually adjust the brightness of the
instruments and controls to suit the exterior light

(e.g. passing through an urban area or an area
reserved for electric vehicles).
►  Activate the function by pressing ON, then
select the electric range to be reserved (6 miles
(10 km), 12 miles (20 km) or the full range MAX).
Activation of the function is confirmed by
the lighting of this indicator lamp on the
instrument panel and the indication of the energy
reserve in miles or kms.
►  To use the energy reserve, choose the Electric
driving mode in the mode selector.
If the requested range exceeds the
available range (not recommended), the
internal combustion engine starts to recharge
the traction battery up to the requested
threshold. This leads to excessive fuel
consumption.

vehicle. However, if the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be activated after 45 seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened, the vehicle will
automatically lock itself again after about
30 seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking renders the interior door
controls inoperative. It also disables the
central locking button.
The horn remains operational.
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when it
is deadlocked.
►  Press the locking button again within 5
seconds to deadlock the vehicle (confirmed by the
temporary lighting of the direction indicators).
Closing the windows and sunroof
An audible signal sounds before the start of
movement.
Maintaining pressure on the locking
button for more than 3 seconds allows the
windows and, depending on version, the sunroof
to be closed to the desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind.
Ensure that no person or object could
prevent the correct closing of the
windows and sunroof.
If, on versions with alarm, you want to leave
the windows and/or sunroof partially open, you
must first deactivate the interior volumetric
alarm protection.
For more information on the Alarm, refer to the
corresponding section.

► Position yourself behind the vehicle by the
number plate and perform a "kicking" movement
in the "OK" detection zone.
The "kicking" movement must be given forwards,
smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical
movement from low to high. Raise the foot
sufficiently and remove it immediately.
Acknowledgement of the "kicking" movement
is confirmed by the lighting of the direction
indicators.
"Sideward kicking" movements do not
work. If the "kicking" movement has not
