Driving
Automatic application
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is applied automatically when the engine is
switched off.
It is not applied automatically if the
engine stalls or enters STOP mode with
Stop & Start.
In automatic mode, the parking brake
can be manually applied or released at
any time using the control.
Special cases
Immobilising the vehicle with the
engine running
To immobilise the vehicle with the engine
running, briefly pull the control.
Parking the vehicle with the brake
released
In very cold conditions (ice), applying the
parking brake is not recommended.
To immobilise the vehicle, engage a gear or
place the chocks against one of the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox or drive
selector, 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.
With an automatic gearbox or a drive
selector, 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.
►


T
ake your foot fully off the brake pedal.
►

Push the control for 10 to a maximum of
15

seconds.
►

Release the control.
►


Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►


Pull the control 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.

Driving
Special cases
To avoid mode N (quick change from D to R and
back again):
►

In mode
R, push backwards past the point of
resistance, mode D is selected.
►

In mode
D, push forwards past the point of
resistance, mode R is selected.
►

T
o 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.
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
D1...8 Automatic forward gear
B1...8 Automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated
M1...8 Manual forward gear
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
audible signal stops when the driver's door is
closed.
At speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h),
opening the driver ’s door will engage
mode P
- risk of sudden braking!
In the event of battery failure, it is
essential to place the chock(s) supplied
with the tool kit against one of the wheels to
immobilise the vehicle.
Special aspects of automatic mode
The gearbox selects the gear that provides
optimal performance based on ambient
temperature, road profile, vehicle loading and
driving style.
For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator
fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes
down automatically or holds the selected gear
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
Steering mounted controls allow the driver to
temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed
and engine speed conditions permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The gearbox only changes from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
conditions permit.

107
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.

Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.

11 3
Driving
6► From mode D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The system status 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.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes
The driving modes available depend on the engine and equipment of the vehicle. Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel.
►

Press the control again to change mode.
With an electric vehicle, when starting the
vehicle, no mode can be selected until the
READY

indicator lamp is displayed.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).
The selected mode is activated immediately.
For petrol, Diesel or hybrid
versions
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.
Sport
With a manual gearbox: to obtain more dynamic
driving with action on the power steering,
accelerator and the possibility of displaying the
vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument
panel.
With an automatic gearbox: to obtain more
dynamic driving with action on the power
steering, accelerator, gear changes, displaying
the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument
panel (depending on version) and activation/
deactivation of the display colour (depending on
version).
The selection of the Sport mode deactivates the
Stop & Start function / e-Auto mode.
Coasting mode (Petrol or Diesel)
Depending on version and engine, with
the gear selector in mode D, in
Eco and
Normal modes, 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).

11 4
Driving
For rechargeable hybrid
versions
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Electric
driving mode is selected by default.
Electric
Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.
The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph
(135
km/h).
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do
not allow the activation or retention of Electric
mode, the message "Electric mode currently
unavailable" is displayed on the instrument
panel. The vehicle automatically changes to
Hybrid mode.
Conditions of activation
–

Adequate battery charge level. Charging
the vehicle after each drive is therefore
recommended. Electric

mode is available as
long as there is power left in the battery.
–

Outside temperature between approximately
-5°C and 45°C.
Manually exiting the mode
►


Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or
►


Select another mode.
In case of non-use of the vehicle for a
long period (several months), a restart of
the petrol engine may occur even if the
battery is charged.
In the event of multiple starts of the
internal combustion engine without a
sufficient rise in temperature, Electric mode
may be temporarily unavailable (natural
phenomenon of dilution of fuel in oil). The
message "Electric mode unavailable:
automatic operation in progress " then
appears on the instrument panel.
To regain normal electrical operation, drive
approximately 50
miles (80 km) in "motorway"
conditions or approximately 125
miles
(200
km) in urban conditions.
This phenomenon does not cause any
mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur
several times in the life of the vehicle.
Hybrid
To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption by
managing the alternating or simultaneous
operation of the two types of engine ,
depending on driving conditions and driving
style.
In Hybrid mode, it is possible to drive in 100%
electric mode if the battery charge level is
sufficient and acceleration requirements are
moderate.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving in order to
benefit from the maximum performance of the
vehicle.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
For electric versions
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Sport
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with a drive selector and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
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.

11 5
Driving
6Do 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.
–


If mode
D, M or B is selected on an automatic
gearbox.
–

If mode
D or B is selected on the drive
selector.


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
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the traffic density and
safety remain determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an arrow
and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g.
slope, load) and driving style
(e.g.
power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
.
–

engaging reverse gear
.
Stop & Start (Petrol or
Diesel)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
