Overview
heating and air conditioning systems. Its charge
level is represented by bars on a gauge, and
there is a reserve power warning lamp on the
instrument panel.
The 12V accessory battery 3powers the vehicle’s
conventional electrical system. It is used to start
the electric motor. This battery is automatically
recharged by the traction battery.
The heat pump4provides passenger
compartment heating and regulates traction
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger 5manages traction battery
domestic and accelerated charging.
The electric motor6provides motive power, based
on the selected driving mode and the driving
conditions. It recovers energy during vehicle
braking and deceleration phases.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this
indication is displayed on the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO2emissions and
decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "Drive Mode" control.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE"
control, use cruise control at speeds above 25
mph (40km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds above 31mph (50km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down.
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
functions, if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the
visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help
reduce consumption of electrical energy, and
hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the
heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible to
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise
wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit
summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
– before a long journey.
–at each change of season.
–after a long period out of use.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil,
oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter,
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution; visit a
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible
to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions
to regulatory compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your new
vehicle settle down to a consistent average after
the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

8
Eco-driving
Optimise the driving range (electric vehicles)
The vehicle’s electrical consumption depends
heavily on the route, the vehicle speed and your
driving style.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake
smoothly, whenever possible using engine braking
with the regenerative braking function, which will
move the power indicator into the "CHARGE" zone.

instrument panel may be customisable (colour
and display mode).
Display language and units
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).
As a safety measure, these adjustments
must be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
The display colour can be selected in the setting
of a profile in the Settings touch screen menu.
Depending on version, the possible choices are:
–"Champagne" (white and champagne),
– "Performance Line" (gold and carmine).
If the vehicle is so equipped, selecting the "Sport"
mode automatically changes the display colour of
the instrument panel (red theme).

not have to take their eyes off the road.
Information displayed during
operation
Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:
A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information and,
if the vehicle is so equipped, the Road signs
recognition function.

For more information on Navigation, refer
to the Audio and telematics section.
Selector
1. On.
2. Off (long press).
3. Brightness adjustment.
4. Display height adjustment.
Activation/Deactivation
► With the engine running, press button1to
activate the system and deploy the projection
blade.
► Press and hold button 2to deactivate the
system and retract the projection blade.
The state of the system is saved when the engine
is switched off and restored on restarting.
Height adjustment
► With the engine running, adjust the display to
the desired height using the buttons 4:
• up to move the display up,
•down to move the display down.
Brightness adjustment
► With the engine running, adjust the brightness
of the information display using the buttons 3:
• on the "sun" to increase the brightness,
•on the "moon" to decrease the brightness.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
projection blade (or in its recess) so as not to
impede its movement and correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or
detergent or solvent products, due to the risk
of scratching the projection blade or damaging
the non-reflective coating.
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.
