► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel, and depending on version, on
the screen with PEUGEOT
Connect Nav.
With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode
if the READY lamp is off.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal
mode).
Whenever the ignition is switched on,
Normal
driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the
performance of the heating and air conditioning,
without deactivating them.
To further reduce the electrical energy
consumption of the traction battery by limiting the
engine torque.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving with action on
the power steering, Active Suspension Control,
accelerator and gear changes (with an automatic
gearbox) and the possibility of displaying the
vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument
panel.
Manual
Permanent Manual mode with an automatic
gearbox.
To change gears manually using the control
paddles on the steering wheel.
Coasting mode
Depending on version or engine, with an
EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode
D, except in
Sport mode, gradually and fully
releasing the accelerator pedal allows free-
wheeling which can save fuel.
A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter
at idle, drop in engine noise).
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.
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 first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual
gearbox.

126
Driving
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–
At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
is detected.
–


The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10

km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector,
in the event of automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, keep the
brake pedal depressed to prevent the vehicle
from moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
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.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The
automatic braking system is deactivated until the
seat belts are fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Warning by Camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the touch screen Driving/Vehicle menu.
The state of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–

With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–


The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
–


The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning by
Camera


The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an
audible signal.

Practical information
Connection
► Before charging, check that the drive selector
is in mode P, otherwise charging is not possible.
► Open the charging flap by pressing the
push-button, and check that there are no foreign
bodies on the charging connector.
Domestic charging, mode 2



► Connect the charging cable from the control
unit to the domestic socket.
When the connection is made, all of the indicator
lamps on the control unit light up, then only the
POWER indicator lamp remains on in green.
► Remove the protective cover from the
charging nozzle.
► Insert the nozzle into the charging connector.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
green CHARGE indicator lamps in the flap, then
those on the control unit.
Vehicle in storage for more than 1
month
Discharge the traction battery down to 2 or
3 bars on the charge level indicator on the
instrument panel.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures
can damage the traction battery).
Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal
of the accessory battery in the engine
compartment.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
(During charging)
While charging is in progress, unlocking
the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
–

Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
–


The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit
or electrocution in the event of contact with or
immersion in water!
For superfast charging
Before charging
Check that the fast public charging
station and its charging cable are compatible
with the vehicle.
If the exterior temperature is below:
–

0°C, charging times may be extended.
–


-20°C, charging is still possible, but
charging times may be extended even further
(the battery has to be heated first).
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
