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.

Information displayed on the
instrument panel
The information displayed on the instrument
panel (e.g. warning lamps, indicators) may have a
fixed or variable location depending on the page
or the driving aid activated.
For the functions that have indicator lamps for
both operation and deactivation, there is only one
dedicated location.
Display language and units
These depend on the touch screen
settings.
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).
Choice of the displayed page
By default, pages are memorised in the
instrument panel.

Dashboard instruments01
POWER High power demand, using the
combined capabilities of the petrol
engine and the electric motor(s)
(depending on version).
The slider is located in this zone during
more dynamic driving phases when
high levels of performance are being
demanded.
ECO Optimal use of energy (internal combustion or electric).
The slider is located in this zone when
driving under electric power and when
optimal use is being made of the petrol
engine, both accessible by adopting a
suitable driving style.
A symbol indicates the threshold at
which the petrol engine will restart.
The driver can therefore moderate
their acceleration to remain in electric
driving mode.
CHARGE Energy recovery for partly recharging the traction battery.
The slider is located in this zone during
deceleration: taking your foot off the
accelerator pedal or braking.Charge level indicator
(Rechargeable hybrid)


The charge level of the traction battery and
the remaining range in electric driving mode
are permanently displayed when the vehicle is
switched on.
The range displayed depends on the use
of the vehicle (type of driving and speed),
the outside temperature and the activated
comfort equipment.
Manual test
This function allows you to check certain
indicators and display the alerts log.
The test is launched in the Settings>
Vehicle touch screen application.
►  Then select Safety > Diagnostics.
The following information is displayed on the
instrument panel:
–

Tyre pre
ssures.
–

t alerts.
This information is also displayed
automatically every time the ignition is
switched on.
Total distance recorder
The total distance recorder measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle since its initial
registration.
With the ignition on, the total distance is
displayed at all times. It remains displayed for
30 seconds after switching off the ignition. It is
displayed when the driver's door is opened, and
when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
When travelling abroad, you may have to
change the distance units (miles or km):
the displayed speed must be in the local
country’s official unit (mph or km/h).
The unit is changed via the screen's
configuration application, with the vehicle
stationary.
Lighting dimmer
Used to manually adjust the brightness of the
instruments and controls to suit the exterior light
level.
It is configured in the Settings >
Brightness touch screen application.

Safety05
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 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 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.
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).
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The dynamic stability control is optimised
to be able to react later on this vehicle.
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 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 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.

Driving06
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The electrical energy is used to
supplement the petrol engine or recharge the
traction battery, depending on the type of
driving.
This mode is optimised with specific settings
which make the most of the dynamic
performance of this vehicle (power steering,
accelerator pedal sensitivity, ESC).
Comfort
(Depending on equipment)
Combines Hybrid mode and Comfort mode of the
DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
To favour flexible shock absorption improving
driving comfort on poor surfaces.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
(Depending on version)
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially suited
to driving on snow-covered roads and difficult
terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford crossings,
at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it
switches to Hybrid mode.
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135 km/h)
using the electric motors; above this speed, the
vehicle is driven by the front wheels only.
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 v
ehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
–

Cert
ain slope conditions are met.
–

The driv
er’s door is closed.
Do 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 mode
D or M is selected on an automatic
gearbox.


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

Vehicle data recording and privacy11
Vehicle data recording and
privacy
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data received
from the vehicle's sensors, for example, or data
they generate themselves or exchange with
each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it
is used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
In
formation about the state of the vehicle
(e.g. speed, travel time, lateral acceleration,
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –

En
vironmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
rain sensor, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including
the vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
O
perating state of system components
(e.g. filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–
Faults and malfunctions in import
ant system
components (e.g. lamps, brakes).
–
Sy
stem reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–
In
formation about events which have damaged
the vehicle.
–
For electric and rechargeable h
ybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle has
detected a malfunction), it may be necessary to
record data which would otherwise simply not be
stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing
(e.g. repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read the
vehicle's data. This also applies to work carried
out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD (On-Board
Diagnostics) port fitted by law to the vehicle. It
is used to report on the technical state of the
vehicle or its components and facilitates the
diagnosis of malfunctions, in compliance with
warranty obligations and for quality improvement.
This data, in particular the information relating
to stress on components, technical events,
operator errors and other malfunctions, is
sent to the Manufacturer, if necessary, along
with the vehicle's identification number. The
Manufacturer's liability may also be engaged. The
Manufacturer may also use the operating data
taken from the vehicle for product recalls. This
data may also be used to check the customer's
warranty and any claims made under warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request. Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and personalised settings
may be saved in the vehicle and modified or
reinitialised at any time.
