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.

(30
km/h), in forward or reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
* In accordance with the general conditions of use of the service, available from dealers an\
d subject to technological and technical limitations.
** Depend ing on the geographic coverage provided by the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems.
The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is ava\
ilable from dealers or on the website for your country.
Emergency or assistance
call




1. eCall (SOS)
2. ASSISTANCE
eCall (SOS)
Your vehicle may be fitted with the eCall (SOS)
system either as standard or as an option.
The eCall
(SOS) system provides direct contact
to the emergency services and is fully built
into the vehicle. This contact is made either
automatically via the sensors built into the
vehicle, or by pressing button 1.
According to the country of sale, the eCall
(SOS)
system corresponds to the systems PE112,
ERAGLONASS, 999, etc.
The eCall
(SOS) system is activated by default.
► To make an emergency call manually, press
button 1 for more than 2 seconds.
The lit indicator lamp and a voice message
confirm that the call has been made to the
emergency services*.
The eCall
(SOS) system immediately locates
your vehicle and puts you in contact with the
appropriate emergency services**.
►

Pressing again immediately cancels the
request.
The indicator lamp flashes while the vehicle
data is being sent, and then remains lit when
communication is established.
In the event that a serious accident is
detected by the sensors built into the
vehicle, such as the airbag control unit, an
emergency call is made automatically.
The eCall (SOS) system is a public
service of general interest and is
free-of-charge.
Operation of the system
– Upon switching on the ignition, the indicator
lamp lights up for a few seconds and then goes
out: the system is operating correctly

Safety
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
This system reduces the emergency stopping
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Post Collision Safety Brake
(PCSB)
If an accident is detected, the vehicle initiates
automatic post collision braking. The goal of this
system is to reduce the risk of further collisions if
the driver does not react. The system is not operational if the capability
of the vehicle is to trigger and execute the
automatic post collision braking is not available,
as it can occur in destructive accidents or in
other specific accident scenarios.
It is possible to override the automatic braking by
pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
Operating conditions
The system operates, if the following conditions
are met:
–

Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners
have been deployed by the collision.
–


Braking systems and electric functions remain
continuously operational during and after
collision.
–


Driver has not depressed the brake or
accelerator pedal.
Malfunction
In the event of a
malfunction, one of these
warning lamps will come on fixed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the Service
warning lamp, the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle
that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow , on
loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
The ASR system is deactivated/ reactivated in the ADAS touch screen
application. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
