8Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's
energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and
CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage
the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication
is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These practices
help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO
2
emissions and decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "DRIVE MODE" control.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows
and air vents before using the air conditioning. At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down
(e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
functions, if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or foglamps
to the level of visibility, in accordance with
current legislation in the country in which you are
driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (e.g. film, music, video game) to help
reduce the consumption of energy.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the
heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise
wind resistance (e.g. roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit
summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
–

before a long journe
y.
–

a
t each change of season.
–

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible
to restore your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions
to legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your new
vehicle settle down to a consistent average after
the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).
Optimising the driving range (rechargeable
hybrid vehicles)
Connect the vehicle as soon as possible.
Favour the ECO zone of the power indicator by
driving smoothly and at a steady speed.

Safety05
accompanied by a message and an audible signal,
indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
This system reduces the emergency stopping
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) /
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event
of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The dynamic stability control is optimised
to be able to react later on this vehicle.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle
that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on
loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
The ASR system is deactivated/
reactivated in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR
system is indicated by this indicator lamp
on the instrument panel coming on/going out and
the display of a message.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic components,
as well as the assembly and repair procedures
provided by dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.

Driving06
With Rechargeable hybrid
engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Electric
driving mode is selected by default.
Electric
Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.
The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph
(135 km/h).
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do
not allow the activation or retention of Electric
mode, the message "Electric mode currently
unavailable" is displayed on the instrument panel.
The vehicle automatically changes to Hybrid
mode.
If an LED comes on under the interior rear view
mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this
confirms that you are driving in Electric mode
(depending on country of sale).
The LED can be deactivated by inserting
the tip of a paper clip or other similar
object into the hole located underneath the
interior rear view mirror.
Conditions of activation
–

Adequa
te battery charge level. Charging
the vehicle after each drive is therefore
recommended. Electric mode is available as long
as there is power left in the battery.
–

O

utside temperature between approximately
-5°C and 45°C.
Manually exiting the mode
►  Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or
►  Select another mode.
In case of non-use of the vehicle for a long
period (several months), a restart of the
petrol engine may occur even if the battery is
charged.
Depending on equipment, Electric mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
In the event of multiple starts of the
internal combustion engine without a
sufficient rise in
temperature,  Electric mode may be temporarily
unavailable (natural phenomenon of dilution of
fuel in oil). The message "Electric mode
unavailable: automatic operation in progress"
then appears on the instrument panel.
To regain normal electrical operation, drive
approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway"
conditions or approximately 125 miles (200
km) in urban conditions.
This phenomenon does not cause any
mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur
several times in the life of the vehicle.
Hybrid
To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption
by managing the alternating or simultaneous
operation of the two types of engine, depending
on driving conditions and driving style.
In Hybrid mode, it is possible to drive in 100%
electric mode if the battery charge level is
sufficient and acceleration requirements are
moderate.
Depending on equipment, Hybrid mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving in order to benefit
from the maximum performance of the vehicle.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
Depending on equipment, Sport mode is
combined with Sport mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding

Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55
litres (Diesel), 62 litres (Petrol) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal,
resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►  Always switch off the engine.
