Driving
For rechargeable hybrid
versions
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.
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). 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.
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.
For electric versions
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Sport
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with a drive selector and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
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.

Driving
6Do 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.
Operation

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,
the vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
–

If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual
gearbox.
–


If mode
D, M or B is selected on an automatic
gearbox.
–

If mode
D or B is selected on the drive
selector.


Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when the driver releases the
brake pedal.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 (Petrol or
Diesel)
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

12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop
e-Auto mode (Hybrid)
The petrol engine stops when low power or torque is required and in stabilised conditions.
The petrol engine is restarted by the belt starter.
The e-Auto mode can switch off the petrol
engine in the following cases:
–

When the operating strategies permit.
–


V
ehicle speed up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
–

When the driver releases the accelerator
pedal in stabilised conditions or in deceleration.
–


During the stop phases.
Restarting is only achieved by the belt starter
until the torque demand is available, if the
traction battery is sufficiently charged. When the
torque demand is insufficient, the petrol engine
restarts.
Using the steering wheel paddles also
causes the restarting of petrol engine.
The e-Auto mode cannot switch off the petrol
engine in the following cases:
–

The state of charge is less than 30% of the
traction battery energy

.
–

There is a need for vacuum brake assist
depending on the altitude.
–


The Sport mode is selected.
–


Maintaining thermal comfort in the passenger
compartment (heating, air conditioning,
demisting/defrosting).
Deactivation/Reactivation
By default, the function is activated when the
ignition is switched on.

application.
or
Direct access to the Shortcuts for driving aids .

11 8
Driving
The display of a message on the instrument
panel confirms the change of state.
Function deactivated, this indicator lights
up in the instrument panel.
If high traction is required, the driver can
deactivate the e-Auto mode using the
touch screen application.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1

hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10

km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3
bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25

mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.

11 9
Driving
6Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the
Settings>Vehicle touch screen application.
►

Then select
Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.
►

Press
YES to confirm.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare
wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp
comes on and disappears once the wheel
has been replaced by one of uniform size (the
same as the others), the pressure readjusted
and the reinitialisation carried out.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), by the masking of the detection zone
with adhesive labels or other objects, or if the
bumpers are damaged.
If the front or rear bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
interfere with the operation of the radar(s).
Take care not to cover the detection zones
on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the associated system.

120
Driving

Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (e.g.
inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(e.g.
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also
impair detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
