Eco-driving
Optimising the driving range
(rechargeable hybrid vehicles)
Connect the vehicle as soon as possible.
Favour the ECO zone of the power indicator by
driving smoothly and at a steady speed.
Anticipate slowing down as much as possible
and, if possible, favour decelerations with
regenerative braking mode activated (power
indicator in the CHARGE zone).
With the vehicle connected, carry out
temperature pre-conditioning before setting off.
To optimise consumption during a journey:
►

Programme a destination in the vehicle’
s
GPS navigation system.
►

Select the
Hybrid driving mode.
►

Make sure that the battery charge level is
close to maximum.
►


Do not use the e-Save function while driving.
►


Use the heating/air conditioning system
wisely

Driver information
Instrument panel
The instrument panel displays all the information
the driver needs about the status of the vehicle's
various systems.
This information appears in the form of warning
and indicator lamps and messages.
The instrument panel is in the form of a fully
digital screen.
Digital instrument panels
Digital instrument panels are of the head-up or
3D head-up type.
They can be personalised using a system of
pages and widgets.
Depending on the page displayed, certain
information is not displayed or is presented
differently.






1. Coolant temperature indicator (°C) (Petrol)
Total distance recorder (miles or km) (Petrol)
Battery charge level and remaining range
(miles or km) indicator (Rechargeable hybrid)
2. Gear shift indicator (arrow and recommended
gear)
Selector position and gear on automatic
gearbox
Speedometer (mph or km/h)
3. Display of speed limit signs
Driving aid in reduced display (if the function
is activated)
4. Rev counter (rpm) (Petrol)
Driving mode selected (other than Normal
mode)
Power indicator (Rechargeable hybrid)

The information listed in the personalisation
page is as follows:
–

Energy flows (Rechargeable hybrid).
–


Current media.
–


Driving aids (e.g.
Extended Traffic Sign
Recognition).
–

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

Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning
and indicator lamp description indicate whether
you should contact a qualified professional in
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle .
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.

Power indicator
(Rechargeable hybrid)
The power indicator shows in real time the power demanded from the vehicle.
There are 3 zones:


POWER High power demand, using the combined capabilities of the petrol
engine and the electric motor.
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.
