Overview
heating and air conditioning systems. Its charge 
level is represented by bars on a gauge, and 
there is a reserve power warning lamp on the 
instrument panel. 
The 12 V accessory battery 3 powers the vehicle’s 
conventional electrical system. It is used to start 
the electric motor. This battery is automatically 
recharged by the traction battery.
The heat pump 4 provides passenger 
compartment heating and regulates traction 
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger 5 manages traction battery 
domestic and accelerated charging.
The electric motor 6 provides motive power, based 
on the selected driving mode and the driving 
conditions. It recovers energy during vehicle 
braking and deceleration phases.

7Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices 
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel 
consumption and CO
2emissions.
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 and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency 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 attitudes 
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and 
decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by 
selecting it using the "Drive Mode" control.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" 
control, use cruise control at speeds above 25 
mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
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 as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the 
visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up 
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia 
devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help 
reduce consumption of electrical energy, and 
hence fuel.
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 (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle 
carrier, trailer, etc.). 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 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 journe
 y.
–
 
a
 t each change of season.
–
 
a
 fter a long period out of use.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where 
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, 
oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, 
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in 
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system 
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution; visit a 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible 
to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions 
to regulatory compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after 
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your new 
vehicle settle down to a consistent average after 
the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

Customising the instrument 
panel
Depending on version, the appearance of the 
instrument panel may be customisable (colour 
and display mode).
Display language and units
When travelling abroad, the speed must 
be shown in the official units of the country 
you are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).
As a safety measure, these adjustments 
must be carried out with the vehicle 
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
The display colour can be selected in the setting 
of a profile in the Settings touch screen menu.
Depending on version, the possible choices are:
–
  "Champagne" (white and champagne),
–
  "Performance Line" (gold and carmine).
If the vehicle is so equipped, selecting the "Sport" 
mode automatically changes the display colour of 
the instrument panel (red theme).

Malfunction detection
 
 
If a malfunction is detected, 
these warning lamps come on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and an "Emissions fault” 
message.
The alert is triggered while driving, when the fault 
is detected for the first time, and thereafter when 
switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys, 
while the cause of the fault persists.
If the fault is temporary, the alert 
disappears during the next journey, after 
self-diagnostic checks of the SCR emissions 
control system.
Malfunction confirmed during the permitted 
driving phase (between 685 miles and 0 miles 
(1,100 km and 0 km))
If the fault indication is still displayed 
permanently after 31 miles (50 km) of driving, the 
fault in the SCR system is confirmed.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes, and an  
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented in X miles” 
message is displayed, indicating the driving range 
in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every 30 
seconds. The alert is repeated when switching on 
the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles 
(1,100 km) before the  engine immobiliser system 
is triggered.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a 
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Starting prevented
Whenever the ignition is switched on, the 
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented” message is 
displayed.
To be able to restart the engine, contact a 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
