Driving
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/B, move the push selector
backwards 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.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your 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.
This 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. After that, ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp and the indicator
lamp
P in the electric parking brake control
lever 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.

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).
With Rechargeable hybrid
engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Electric
driving mode is selected by default.

11 2
Driving
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.
If an LED comes on under the interior rear view
mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this
confirms that you are driving in Electric mode
(depending on country of sale).
The LED can be deactivated by inserting the tip of a paper clip or other similar
object into the hole located underneath the
interior rear view mirror.
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.
Depending on equipment, Electric mode
is combined with Normal mode of the
Active Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
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.
Depending on equipment, Hybrid mode
is combined with Normal mode of the
Active Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
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.
Depending on equipment, Sport mode is
combined with Sport mode of the Active
Suspension Control function.
For more information on Active Suspension
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
PSE (PEUGEOT Sport Engineered)
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 Active Suspension Control function.
To favour flexible shock absorption improving
driving comfort on poor surfaces.
For more information on Active
Suspension Control , 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.

12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop
Under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver when one or more tyres have a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes the last values

stored during
the

reinitialisation request into account. It is
therefore essential that the tyre pressure is
correct during the operation. This operation is
the driver’s responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
–

causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10

km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

11 7
Driving
6mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.

11 8
Driving
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system displays the maximum speed

Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.

Recommendation

In addition to Road signs recognition , the
driver can select the speed displayed as a speed
setting for the speed limiter or cruise control
using the speed limiter or cruise control 'store'
button.
If rain is detected, the system will suggest to
the driver a speed setting lower than the speed
read/obtained from the mapping system in order
to best suit the weather conditions (e.g. on a
motorway, the suggested speed will be 68 mph
(110 km/h) instead of 81 mph (130
km/h)).
