Driving
Restarting is only achieved by the belt starter
until the torque demand is available, if the
traction battery is sufficiently charged. When the
torque demand is insufficient, the petrol engine
restarts.
If high traction is required, the driver can
deactivate the e-Auto mode using the
touch screen application.
The inflation pressures defined for the
vehicle can be found on the tire pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
Using the steering wheel paddles also
causes the restarting of petrol engine.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1
hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
The e-Auto mode cannot switch off the
petrol engine in the following cases:
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
– The state of charge is less than 30% of the
traction battery energy.
– There is a need for vacuum brake assist
depending on the altitude.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
– The Sport mode is selected.
Snow chains
– Maintaining thermal comfort in the passenger
compartment (heating, air conditioning,
demisting/defrosting).
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Deactivation/Reactivation
Under-inflation alert
By default, the function is activated when the
ignition is switched on.
This is signalled by the fixed illumi-
nation of this warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal and, de-
pending on equipment, the display of
a message.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
It is configured in the ADAS touch
screen application.
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden
braking.
or Direct access to the Shortcuts for driving
aids.
The display of a message on the instrument
panel confirms the change of state.
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
– causes premature wear of the tyres.
– increases energy consumption.
Function deactivated, this indicator
lights up in the instrument panel.
