Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen. Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.
Warning lamp continuously
lit
The illumination of a red or orange warning lamp
indicates the occurrence of a fault that needs
further investigation.
If a warning lamp remains lit

Driving
6Operation

On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held for a short time
when you release the brake pedal:
–
provided you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox.
–


provided you are in mode D

or M with an
automatic gearbox.


On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a short time when you
release the brake pedal.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in the event of a malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Active Suspension Control
This suspension adapts itself to the following
parameters: state and profile of the road, load
of the vehicle, driving style and selected driving
mode.
It is managed by a computer, which interprets
the data transmitted by different sensors to
apply the optimal level of damping to each shock
absorber.
It offers three modes: Comfort, Normal and
Sport.
The mode can be selected using the DRIVE
MODE control on the central console.
For more information on the Driving modes,
please refer to the corresponding section.
Driving modes
The number and type of driving modes available depend on the vehicle’s engine and equipment.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




Pressing the control displays the modes on the
instrument panel.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except NORMAL mode).
With petrol / Diesel engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, NORMAL
mode is selected by default.
ECO
This mode reduces fuel consumption, but
restricts the performance of the heating and
air conditioning systems, without however
deactivating them.
Free-wheeling in ECO mode: depending on
version, with the EAT8 gearbox, moving into
"free-wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle
down without using engine braking. You can
save fuel by anticipating the need to slow down
and lifting your foot fully off the accelerator pedal.

108
Driving
COMFORT
(with Active Suspension Control)
Allows more comfortable driving and softer
suspension.
NORMAL
Restores the vehicle’s original settings.
Together with Active Suspension Control, this
mode offers the best compromise between
comfort and handling.
SPORT
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with an automatic gearbox and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
MANUAL
Permanent "Manual" mode with an automatic
gearbox and Full Park Assist.
Enables manual gear changing using the
steering-mounted paddles.
With hybrid engine
Each time the ignition is switched on, ELECTRIC
mode is selected by default.
ELECTRIC
Allows 100% electric driving. 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 in the instrument panel.
The vehicle automatically changes to HYBRID
mode.
The lighting of a blue LED under the interior
rear view mirror, visible from outside the vehicle,
confirms driving in ELECTRIC mode.
The lighting of the LED can be
deactivated by inserting the tip of a paper
clip type accessory into the hole under the
mirror
.
Conditions of activation
–

Adequate battery charge level. Charging
the vehicle after each drive is therefore
recommended.

The ELECTRIC mode is
available as long as there is power left in the
battery.
–

Exterior temperature between 0°C and 45°C.
Manually exiting the mode
–


Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
–


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.
HYBRID
Optimises the fuel consumption of the vehicle
by managing the alternating or simultaneous
operation of the two types of engine ,
according to road 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.
When navigation is activated, the use
of HYBRID mode is advisable to optimise
electrical consumption.
SPORT
Allows more dynamic driving to take advantage
of the vehicle's maximum performance.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
COMFORT
Depending on equipment.
Combines the HYBRID mode and Active
Suspension Control (controlled shock absorption
option).
In COMFORT mode, the suspension favours soft
shock absorption to improve driving comfort on
uneven surfaces.
For more information on Active
Suspension Control , refer to the
corresponding section.
Gear efficiency indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are only
optional. In fact, the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow and the
recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never suggests:
– engaging first gear,
– engaging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,

170
Practical information
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
"Top up

AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling
road, in an automatic car wash, or being
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and
electric parking brake

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment, due to the risk
of damaging electrical components.
Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle at an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
remove the electronic key and deactivate the
“hands-free” function (“Hands-Free Tailgate
Access”).
When using a pressure washer, hold the
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle
(particularly when cleaning areas containing
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint
