Electrotechnical system
warning light
When the warning light comes on, this
indicates that the traction battery tem-
perature is too low or that the engine or
traction battery temperature is too high.
Opt for a calmer driving style.
The warning light can lead to a drop
in vehicle performance.
If it comes on when you start the vehi-
cle, this indicates a fault in the second-
ary 12 V battery.
Low traction battery level
warning light
It flashes when the traction battery
charge level has reached the reserve
threshold. Please see the informa-
tion on “Displays and indicators” in
Section 1.
 ECO mode function light
This lights up when the function is ac-
tivated.
WARNING LIGHTS (3/3)
Electrotechnical system
warning light
If it lights up while driving, this means
there is an electrotechnical fault in the
“400 Volt” electrical circuit. Please see
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
\bElectronic Stability Program
( ESC) and traction control
system warning light
There are several reasons for the warn-
ing light coming on: please refer to the
information on “Driver correction de-
vices and aids” in Section 2.
Tyre pressure loss warning
Please refer to the information
on the “Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
2 Door(s) open warning light
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not go out after the ignition is
switched on, or lights up when driving,
there is a fault with the ABS. Braking
will then be as normal, without the ABS.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible. The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/3)
“Neutral” 0 usage zone
Indicates nil consumption.
Green “recommended
consumption” B usage zone
The traction battery supplies the elec-
trical energy required for the motor to
move the vehicle.
Yellow “Consumption not
recommended” C usage zone
Indicates high energy consumption.Charge meter(on the instrument panel)
The charge meter gives the driver a
real-time view of the vehicle’s energy
consumption.
Blue “Energy recovery” A usage
zone
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or apply the brake,
the motor generates electrical current
during deceleration, and this energy is
used to slow down the vehicle and re-
charge the traction battery.
Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufacturers,
this enables vehicles to be compared
with one another. Consumption in real
time depends on vehicle usage condi-
tions, equipment fitted and the user’s
driving style. To optimise fuel con-
sumption, please refer to the following
advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:
– charge meter;
– the driving style indicator;
– the journey record and eco-driving
advice via the multimedia display;
– ECO mode – activated by the ECO button.
If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation
system provides additional information.
The presence and display of this in-
formation depends on the type of
ambiance selected. Please see the
information on “Displays and indica-
tors” in Section 1.

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises vehicle range. It acts on all ele-
ments which consume energy (engine
power, heating and/or air conditioning,
etc).
Activating the function
Press switch 3.
The warning light 5
 is displayed
on the instrument panel and the lower
part of the instrument panel 4 goes
green. Disabling the function
Press switch 3.
The warning light
5
 goes off on
the instrument panel and the lower part
of the instrument panel 4 goes blue.
The cruise control switches to
standby each time the ECO mode
is activated or deactivated. Please
refer to the information on “Cruise
control/speed limiter: cruise control
function” in Section 2.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)

54
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
With ECO mode activated, the vehi-
cle speed is limited to approximately
56 mph (90 km/h).

2.9
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.
Advice:
– drive at a constant speed.
– keep an eye on the tools available to you to view the road conditions
(charge meter, current consump-
tion, journey log, etc). Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2;– adapt your driving style to avoid ex- cessive energy consumption
– favour power recovery: anticipate traffic changes by lifting your foot off
the accelerator pedal or by braking
gradually.
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on the level. Keep your foot in
the same position on the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving Cycle).
In real usage, the range of an electric
vehicle may vary depending on several
factors over which you have partial con-
trol, which may make a considerable
difference to the vehicle range. These
factors are:
– speed and driving style;
– type of road;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– use of electrical accessories;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy consuming ele-
ments (engine power, heating, etc.) to
reduce their consumption to the fullest
possible extent. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Eco-driving” in Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.

2.10
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The use of heating or air-conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
To maintain your vehicle range, you are
recommended to favour:
– before using the vehicle, the “pro-gramming” mode (please refer to the
information in “Air-conditioning: pro-
gramming” in Section 3).
– while driving, the ECO mode (please see information about “ECO driving”
in Section 2).
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di-
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula-
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.
