Overview
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.
Electric drive system

1. Charging connectors
2. Traction battery
3. Accessory battery
4. Heat pump
5. On-board charger
6. Electric motor
7. Charging cable
The charging connectors 1 enable 3
types of
charging: –

Domestic charging in mode 2 using a
domestic socket and associated charging cable
7
.
–
Accelerated charging in mode 3 using an
accelerated charging unit (W
allbox).
–
Superfast charging in mode 4 using a fast
public charger
.
The 400 V traction battery 2 uses Lithium-Ion
technology. It stores and supplies the energy
required for the operation of the electric motor,
air conditioning and heating. Its charge level is
represented by an indicator and a reserve power
warning lamp on the instrument panel.
The 12 V accessory battery 3 powers the
vehicle’s conventional electrical system. It is
recharged automatically by the traction battery
via the on-board charger.
The heat pump 4 provides passenger
compartment heating and regulates traction
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger
5
manages the domestic
charging (mode 2) and accelerated charging
(mode 3) of the traction battery as well as the
recharging of the 12
V accessory battery.
The electric motor
6 provides propulsion in
accordance with the selected driving mode and
driving conditions. It recovers energy during
vehicle braking and deceleration phases.

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 a hybrid engine, engine braking is more
efficient. Anticipate slowing down as much as
you can and, if possible, favour deceleration with
engine braking in order to charge the traction
battery, to increase all-electric driving and to
reduce fuel consumption. 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

Safety
5Have 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.
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR
system is indicated by this indicator lamp
on the instrument panel coming on/going out and
the display of a message.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160
km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the brake lamps coming on).

Driving
6Regenerative braking (Brake function)
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need
to depress the brake pedal. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down more quickly.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is used to partially recharge the
traction battery.
This partial recharging has no effect on the charge level indicator.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From
mode D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function.
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
Regenerative braking using the brake
pedal
Energy recovery can also be produced
by depressing the brake pedal in order to
partially recharge the traction battery, without
affecting the charge level indicator.
Starting the vehicle
► Fully depress the brake pedal.
► Start the engine.
►

With your foot on the brake pedal, push once
or twice backwards to select automatic mode D

,
or forwards to shift into reverse gear R.
►

Release the brake pedal.
►


Accelerate gradually to automatically release
the electric parking brake.
The vehicle moves off immediately

.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Switching the vehicle off
Regardless of the current gearbox mode,
mode P is immediately engaged automatically
when the ignition is switched off.
However, in mode
N, mode P will be engaged
after a delay of 5
seconds (time to enable free-
wheeling mode).
Check that mode
P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps on the gear selector and the electric parking
brake control must be on, as well as the indicator
lamps on the instrument panel.
Gearbox malfunction
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of a message.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62
mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
Switching of the gearbox to back-up mode
Mode D locks in third gear.
The paddles on the steering wheel do not work
and mode M is no longer accessible.
You may feel a significant jolt on engaging
reverse gear. This will not damage the gearbox.
Selector malfunction
Minor malfunction
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Drive carefully.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In some cases, the selector indicator lamps may
no longer come on, but the gearbox state is still
displayed on the instrument panel.

6► To return to mode N, push without passing
the point of resistance.
Steering-mounted controls
(Depending on equipment)
In mode M or D, the steering-mounted control
paddles can be used to change gear manually.
They cannot be used to select neutral or to
engage or disengage reverse gear.


► Pull the " +" or "-" paddle towards you and
release to shift up or down a gear, respectively.
Electric motor
The electric motor included in the automatic
gearbox, which is used for the first start, provides
12
V power supply via the DC/DC converter and
provides electric assistance to the petrol engine.
The electric motor has the following features:
–

Provide an additional torque to the gearbox,
optimising the performance of the petrol engine.
–


Recover the kinetic energy of the deceleration
phases, converting it into electrical energy

, which
can be used for traction or for the power supply
of electrical accessories installed on the vehicle.
– Recharge the 48 V traction battery when the
state of charge is too low.
–

Provide all-electric driving only
.
These features are achieved through the
following functions set of automatic operating
mode:
–
e-Boost.
–
e-Creeping.
–
e-Launch.
–
e-Queueing.
–
e-Parking.
A manual operating mode is also available
to activate/deactivate the restart of the petrol
engine while driving: the e-Auto mode.
When mode P or N is selected on the
automatic gearbox, the noise level in the
engine compartment may increase due to the
start of the charging phase of the traction
battery: this is normal and does not represent
a malfunction.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the gearbox
status is displayed on the instrument panel:
P Parking
R Reverse
N Neutral
D Automatic forward gear (Hybrid)
M1...6 Manual forward gear (Hybrid)
D1...7Automatic forward gear (Rechargeable
hybrid)
B1...7 Automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function
(Rechargeable hybrid)
The gear engaged is also displayed in Sport
mode.
However, in all-electric driving, the gear engaged
is not indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed on
the instrument panel for a few seconds after
switching off the ignition.
Operation
Only appropriate mode change instructions are
validated.
With the engine running, if it is necessary to
depress the brake pedal to change modes,
an alert message will be displayed on the
instrument panel.
With the engine running and the brakes
released, if R, D or M is selected, the
vehicle moves off, even without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Never depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time - risk of damage to
the gearbox!
If you open the driver's door while mode
N is engaged, an audible signal will
sound and mode P will be engaged. The
