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 12 V 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 pump 4provides 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 motor 6provides 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 o 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 eciency 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 trac noise.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the trac is
owing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving o, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).
Unless automatically regulated, switch o the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch o the demisting and defrosting functions,
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch o the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch o the headlamps and foglamps when
the visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving o,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (lm, 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 ret
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 lter, air lter, passenger compartment lter,
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualied workshop
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s
nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory
compliance.
When lling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average
after the rst 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.
