Driving
D/B.Automatic forward gear ( D) or automatic
forward gear with regenerative braking
(B)
The gearbox manages gear changes
according to the style of driving, the road
profile and the vehicle load. With the
regenerative braking function activated,
the gearbox also controls braking when
the accelerator pedal is released.
Push selector

A. Button P
To put the gearbox into Park mode.

Displays in the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on, the status of
the gearbox is displayed in the instrument panel:
P: park.
R: reverse.
N: neutral.
D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.
B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated.
In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not
indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed in
the instrument panel for a few seconds after
switching off the ignition.
Regenerative braking (Brake
function)
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need
to depress the brake pedal. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down more quickly.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is used to partially recharge the
traction battery.
This partial recharging has no effect on the charge level indicator.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From mode
D/B, move the push selector
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
Regenerative braking using the brake
pedal
Energy recovery can also be produced
by depressing the brake pedal in order to
partially recharge the traction battery, without
affecting the charge level indicator.
Hill start assist
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:
– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
– Certain slope conditions are met.
– The driver’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp
in the electric parking brake control are on
fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.

122
Driving
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 driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the
performance of the heating and air conditioning,
without deactivating them.
Sport
With a manual gearbox: to obtain more dynamic
driving with action on the power steering,
accelerator and the possibility of displaying the
vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument
panel.
With an automatic gearbox: to obtain more
dynamic driving with action on the power
steering, accelerator, gear changes and
possibility of displaying the vehicle’s dynamic
settings on the instrument panel.
Depending on version, with an EAT8
gearbox and the gear selector in mode
D, except in
Sport mode, fully releasing the
accelerator pedal allows free-wheeling which
can save fuel.
A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter
at idle, drop in engine noise).
With rechargeable hybrid
engine
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 a blue LED comes on under the interior rear
view mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this
confirms that you are driving in Electric mode.
The LED can be turned off by inserting
the tip of a paper clip or other accessory
into the hole under the mirror.
Conditions of activation
–

Adequate 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.
–

Outside 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.
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). A message is then
displayed on the instrument panel (" ZEV
mode unavailable: automatic operation in
progress").
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.
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.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
(Depending on version)
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially
suited to driving on snow-covered roads and
difficult terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford
crossings, at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it
switches to Hybrid mode.
This mode will be even more effective if the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph
(135 km/h) using the electric motors; above this
speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels
only.

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, 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.
The system cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an arrow
and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g.
slope, load) and driving style
(e.g.
power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear;
–


engaging reverse gear
.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
A message on the instrument panel confirms the
change of status.
When the function is deactivated, if the engine
was in standby, it restarts immediately.
Associated indicator lamps
Function activated.
Function deactivated or malfunction.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
