The rechargeable hybrid technology combines
two sources of energy: that of the petrol engine
and that of the electric motor, which drive the
front wheels (traction).
The engine and the motor can operate alternately
or simultaneously, according to the driving mode
selected and the driving conditions.
The electric power alone provides the mobility of
the vehicle in Electric mode, and in Hybrid mode
in case of moderate demand. It assists the petrol
engine during starting and acceleration phases.
The electric power is supplied by a rechargeable
traction battery.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's
energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and
CO2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift 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 practices
help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO2
emissions and decrease general traffic noise.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector
in modeD, and except inSport mode, favour
"free-wheeling" by fully lifting your foot from the
accelerator pedal in order to save fuel.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of electrical equipment
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.
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 and heated steering
wheel as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or foglamps
to the level of visibility, in accordance with
current legislation in the country in which you are
driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (e.g.film, music, video game) to help
reduce the consumption of energy.
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 (e.g.roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer). 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 the 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 forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g.engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, 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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, 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).

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 theHybriddriving 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.

Depending on version, driver information also
appears in the extended head-up display.
For more information on DS EXTENDED HEAD UP
DISPLAY, refer to the corresponding section.
Digital instrument panel
The digital instrument panel can be personalised
using a page system.
Depending on the page displayed, certain
information is hidden or presented differently.

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
instrument panel.
The page change between the instrument
panel and DS EXTENDED HEAD UP DISPLAY is
synchronised.

DS EXTENDED HEAD UP
DISPLAY
This extended head-up display system projects
information onto the windscreen in the driver's
field of vision so that they do not need to take
their eyes off the road.
No object must be placed in the cavity
- risk of damaging the system!
For optimum use, consider adjusting the
driver's seat and the height of the
extended head-up display.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(e.g.rain and/or snow, bright sunlight) and
when wearing polarised sunglasses, the
extended head-up display may not be legible or
may be momentarily obscured.
DS EXTENDED HEAD UP DISPLAY is
associated with a specific windscreen
approved by the Manufacturer.
If the windscreen is replacedoutside the
dealer network, follow the Manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Information displayed during
operation
Once the system is activated, the information
displayed on the extended head-up display is, for
example:
A. Speed of the vehicle
B. Road signs recognition and Driving aid in
reduced display (if the function is activated)
C. Navigation instructions and guidance map
D. Personalisable area:
– Navigation (depending on equipment).
– Driving aids.
– Empty.
Temporary display of media lists, alerts
and feedback following a modification or
adjustment (volume, station search, etc.)

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.
(2): Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
(3): Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.
