Data storage
Data contained in the system’s memory
is not accessible from outside the system until
a call is made. The system is not traceable
and is not continuously monitored in its
normal operating mode.
The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously erased. Only
the vehicle’s three most recent locations are
stored.
When an emergency call is triggered, the data
log is stored for no more than 13
hours.
Access to data
You have the right to access the data
and, if necessary, submit a request to
rectify, erase or restrict the processing of
any personal information not processed in
accordance with the provisions of Regulation

Driving
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
–

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.
Depending on equipment, Electric mode
is combined with Normal mode of the
Active Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, 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
Active Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, 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 Active
Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
PSE (PEUGEOT Sport Engineered)
The electrical energy is used to
supplement the petrol engine or recharge
the traction battery, depending on the type of
driving.
This mode is optimised with specific settings
which make the most of the dynamic
performance of this vehicle (power steering,
accelerator pedal sensitivity, ESC).
Comfort
(Depending on equipment)
Combines Hybrid mode and Comfort mode of
the Active Suspension Control function.
To favour flexible shock absorption improving
driving comfort on poor surfaces.
For more information on Active
Suspension Control , refer to the
corresponding section.
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.

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.
