Driving
For example, to change from P to R, either
push forwards twice without passing the point of
resistance or push just once, passing the point
of resistance:
– In the first case, the selector goes from P to N,
then from N to R.
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.

With the brake pedal
– In the second case, the selector goes directly
from P to R.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel, and depending on version, on
the screen with PEUGEOT Connect Nav.
With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode
if the READY lamp is off.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).
With the Advanced Grip Control optimising
traction, additional driving modes are available.
For more information on Advanced Grip
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
Whenever the ignition is switched on,
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The driver may experience a different
sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes
The driving modes available depend on the
engine and equipment of the vehicle.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle
does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
Normal driving mode is selected by default.
► From mode D/B, move the push selector
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the
performance of the heating and air conditioning,
without deactivating them.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
