Overview
Rechargeable hybrid
system


1.Petrol engine
2. Electric motor
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 the electric motor, which drive the
front wheels (traction).
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.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise
the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or
electricity) and CO
2 emissions.
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. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift 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 practices
help to save on energy consumption, reduce
CO
2 emissions and decrease general traffic
noise.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector in
mode
D, and except in Sport mode, favour "free-
wheeling" by gradually lifting your foot fully off
the accelerator pedal in order to save fuel.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of electrical equipment
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.
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 and heated steering
wheel as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or
foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance
with current legislation in the country in which
you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (e.g.
film, music, video
game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.
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 (e.g.
roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). 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 the 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 forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g.

engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, 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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this
section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
The head should be at a minimum distance of
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
The distance between the knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position
as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that it is at
least 25
cm from the sternum and you can hold it
with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with the pelvis, back and
shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so that
you are at a distance of at least 25
cm from the
dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten the seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of the shoulder and adjust the lap belt
so that it is tightened across the pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
