Driving
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving,
it switches to Normal mode.
Operation
For electric versions
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
6
mode is selected by default.
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135
km/h); above this speed, the vehicle is driven by
the front wheels only.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, the
vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
– If mode D, M or B is selected on an automatic
gearbox.
Hill start assist
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:
– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
Kick-down
– If mode D is selected on the drive selector.
In Normal and Eco modes, it is always
possible to obtain maximum torque and
power by depressing the accelerator pedal
fully.
– Certain slope conditions are met.
– The driver’s door is closed.
Sport
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with a drive selector and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when the driver releases the
brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp
in the electric parking brake control are on
fixed.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
In addition to the driving modes, Normal, Eco
and Sport, some electric vehicles have this
special mode.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunc-
tion, these warning lamps
light up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the
display of a message.
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially suited
to driving on snow-covered roads and difficult
terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford
crossings, at moderate speed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
