Overview
Rechargeable hybrid
system


1.Petrol engine
2. Front and rear electric motors (depending on
version)
3. Traction battery
4. 12 V accessories batteries
5. 8-speed electric automatic gearbox (e-EAT8)
6. Charging flap
7. Fuel filler flap
8. Driving mode selector
9. Domestic charging cable
The rechargeable hybrid technology combines
two sources of energy: that of the petrol engine
and that of one or two electric motors (depending
on version).
The engine and the motor can operate
alternately or simultaneously, according to the
driving mode selected and the driving conditions. The electric power alone provides the mobility
of the vehicle in
Electric mode, and in Hybrid
mode in case of moderate demand. It assists the
petrol engine during starting and acceleration
phases.
The electric power is supplied by a rechargeable
traction battery.

Safety
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
– In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1,5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
– Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
– ‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a=
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or=
hit it violentlyK
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved seat covers
compatible with the deployment of these
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (e.g.
clothing) as this could cause
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as these help to secure the curtain
airbags.
Active bonnet

The active bonnet has been designed to
optimise the safety of pedestrians in the event of
collision with the front of the vehicle.
The pyrotechnic system is triggered at the
hinges of the bonnet to lift it, when the sensors
located at the front of the vehicle detect a
collision.
Deployment of the active bonnet is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, do not try to open or close
the bonnet. Call a towing company or go to
the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop, driving at a speed below 19 mph
(30
km/h).
Make sure that you adjust the height of the
driver's seat - risk of hindrance to visibility!
This equipment will only trigger once. If a second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet
will not trigger.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the system checked.
Do not tamper with the pyrotechnic systems
under the bonnet, close to the struts - risk of
explosion!
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
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. You must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The active bonnet may not deploy in the event of
an impact.

5Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–

In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1,5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–


Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
–

‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the sun's rays,
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–

A

child alone and unsupervised inside a
vehicle.
–

A

child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.
–

The keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
