Overview
heating and air conditioning systems. Its charge
level is represented by bars on a gauge, and
there is a reserve power warning lamp on the
instrument panel.
The 12 V accessory battery 3 powers the
vehicle’s conventional electrical system. It is
used to start the electric motor. This battery is
automatically recharged by the traction battery.
The heat pump
4 provides passenger
compartment heating and regulates traction
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger 5 manages traction
battery domestic and accelerated charging.
The electric motor
6 provides motive power,
based on the selected driving mode and the
driving conditions. It recovers energy during
vehicle braking and deceleration phases.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their
fuel consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency 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 attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and
decrease general traffic noise.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 25 mph (40

km/h) when the traffic is
flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
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 (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).
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.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when
the visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.
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 (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). 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 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 journey
.
–

at each change of season.
–


after a long period out of use.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil,
oil filter

, air filter, passenger compartment filter,
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s
nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory
compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, 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).

Eco-driving
Optimise the driving range (electric
vehicles)
The vehicle’s electrical consumption depends
heavily on the route, the vehicle speed and your
driving style.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake
smoothly, whenever possible using engine
braking with the regenerative braking function,
which will move the power indicator into the
"CHARGE" zone.

When travelling abroad, the speed must be
shown in the official units of the country you
are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).
As a safety measure, these adjustments must be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
With PEUGEOT Connect Nav
The instrument panel display colour depends on
the colour scheme chosen in this system.
► Press Settings in the side banner of
the touch screen.

Carry out (1) and then (2).
Orange warning/indicator lamps
Service
Temporarily on, accompanied by the display of a message.
One or more minor faults, for which there is/are
no specific warning lamp(s), have been detected.
Identify the cause of the fault using the message
displayed in the instrument panel.
You can deal with certain problems yourself, for
example an open door or the start of saturation
of the particle filter.
For other faults, such as with the tyre under-
inflation detection system, carry out (3).
Fixed, accompanied by the display of a
message.
One or more major faults, for which there is/are
no specific warning lamp(s), have been detected.
Identify the cause of the fault using the message
displayed in the instrument panel, then carry out
(3).
Fixed, accompanied by the message "Parking brake fault".
Automatic release of the electric parking brake is
unavailable.
Carry out (2).
Service warning lamp fixed and
service spanner flashing then
fixed.
The servicing interval has been exceeded.
The vehicle must be serviced as soon as
possible.
Only with BlueHDi Diesel engines.
Engine pre-heating (Diesel)Temporarily on (up to approximately 30 seconds in
severe weather conditions).
When switching on the ignition, if the weather
conditions and the engine temperature make it
necessary.
Wait until the warning lamp goes off before
starting.
When the warning lamp goes off, starting will
occur immediately if you press and hold:
–

the clutch pedal with a manual gearbox.
–


the brake pedal with an automatic gearbox.
If the engine does not start, make the engine
starting request again, while keeping your foot
on the pedal.
Particle filter (Diesel)Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message about the risk of particle
filter blockage.
The particle filter is nearing saturation. As soon as traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message indicating that the additive
level in the particle filter is too low.
The low level in the additive tank has been
reached.
Top up without delay: carry out (3).
Low fuel level (Petrol or Diesel)Fixed, with the blocks lit red,
accompanied by an audible signal
(with the matrix instrument panel)
or
Fixed, with the reserve level shown in red,
accompanied by an audible signal and the
display of a message (except with the matrix
instrument panel).
When it first comes on, there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank
(reserve).
Until the fuel level is topped up, this alert will
be repeated every time the ignition is switched
on, with increasing frequency as the fuel level
decreases and approaches zero.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of fuel.
Never drive until completely empty, as
this could damage the emissions control and
injection systems.
