The rechargeable hybrid technology combines
two sources of energy: that of the petrol engine
and that of one or two electric motors (depending
on version).
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.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
–

An
ti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–

Emergenc
y braking assistance (EBA).
–

An
ti-slip regulation (ASR).
–

Dynamic st
ability control (DSC).
–

Trailer st
ability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)/Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
individual wheel.
► When braking in an emergency, depress the
pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp
signals that there is a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This warning lamp, when lit together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►  Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything
that may happen any time.
►  Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking
and maintain a longer safety distance, especially
in bad weather.
►  Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).
►  During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a closed
space without sufficient ventilation.
Internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Never park the vehicle and never leave the
engine running on a flammable surface
(e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle
exhaust system is very hot, even several
minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (e.g. tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field, a
country lane overgrown with bushes or a
grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in the
passenger compartment which could act
like a magnifying glass under the effect of the
sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the vehicle unattended, with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the automatic gearbox
into position N or P.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
E-TENSE 4X4 360
Repeated hard braking in this vehicle
can generate loud banging noises which are
completely normal.
Continue driving but with lighter braking so
that the braking system can cool down.
The performance of the braking system
remains unaffected.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
internal combustion engine or electric motor, the
gearbox and the electrical systems of the vehicle.


If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►  Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might
be generated by other users.
►  Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►  For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the
mode selector in 4WD position (depending on
version).
►  Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).

Driving06
Parking the vehicle with the brake
released
In very cold conditions (ice), applying the
parking brake is not recommended.
To immobilise the vehicle, place the chock
against one of the wheels.
Mode P is automatically selected when
the ignition is switched off. The wheels
are blocked.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
If you open the driver's door while mode N
is engaged, an audible signal will sound
and mode P will be engaged. The audible signal
stops when the driver's door is closed.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.
►  Start the engine.
►  Use the control to apply the parking brake, if it
is released.
►  Take your foot fully off the brake pedal.
►  Keep the control pushed in the release
direction for 10 to a maximum of 15 seconds. ► 
Release the control.
►  Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►  Pull the control in the application direction for
2 seconds.
This indicator lamp on the instrument
panel comes on to confirm deactivation of
the automatic functions.
►  Release the control and the brake pedal.
From this point onwards, only the manual
functions, using the control, allow the parking
brake to be applied and released.
►  Follow this procedure again to reactivate
automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator
lamp on the instrument panel going out).
Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide
effective braking or in exceptional circumstances
(e.g. driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle
can be braked by sustained pulling on the electric
parking brake control. Braking continues for as
long as the control is kept pulled, and ceases
when the control is released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the
instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems
malfunction, indicated by lighting
one or both warning lamps on the instrument
panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured. ► 
In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by
successive and repeated "pull-release" actions on
the electric parking brake control until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 8-speed gearbox with a push selector.
It also offers a manual mode with gear changes
via control paddles located behind the steering
wheel.
Gearbox selector positions
P. Park
For parking the vehicle: the front wheels are
blocked.

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 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), or
if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types
of paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar(s).


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 (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(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 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.
