DRIVING

HANDBRAKE

Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.

When the vehicle is being
driven, illumination of this

warning light and of the

STOP

warning light, ac-

companied by an audible

signal and a message on the multi-

function display, indicates that the

handbrake is still on or has not been

properly released.

When parking on a slope, di-

rect your wheels towards the

pavement and pull the hand-

brake.

Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-

ton to release the handbrake.

The four or six speed automatic

gearbox offers a choice between the

comfort of integral automatic op-
eration , enhanced by a sport and a
snow

programme, or manual gear

changing .

P

ark: to immobilise the vehicle or

start the engine

, with the handbrake

on or off.

R

everse: to reverse (select this po-

sition with the vehicle stationary, en-

gine at idle).

N

eutral: to start the engine and to

park

, with the handbrake on.

Note

: if position N is engaged inad-

vertently while driving, allow the en-

gine to return to idle before engaging

position D to accelerate.

DRIVING

Moving off

With the engine running, to move off

from position P :
 it is essential to press the brake

pedal,

 release the handbrake,


select position R , D or M , then

gradually release the pressure

on the brake pedal; the vehicle

moves off immediately.

You can also move off from position

N .

When the engine is at idle,

brakes not applied, if posi-

tion R , D or M is selected the

vehicle moves even without

the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the ve-
hicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P , an

audible signal is heard and a

mes-

sage appears when the driver’s door is

opened or approximately 45 seconds

after the ignition is switched off. Move

the lever to P . The audible signal

stops and the message disappears.

When maintenance opera-

tions need to be carried out

with the engine running, ap-

ply the handbrake and select

position P .

Never select position N when

the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R

unless the vehicle is stationary.

Never change between positions to

optimise braking on a slippery sur-

face.

Sport and snow programmes

In addition to the auto-adaptive pro-

gramme, there are two special pro-

grammes.
The programme is displayed on the

instrument panel screen.

Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four or

six gears:


select position D in the gate.

The gearbox automatically adapts

the gear in relation to the style of

driving, the road proi le and the ve-

hicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in

auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-

tion on your part.

For immediate maximum accelera-

tion without touching the gear lever,

press the accelerator pedal down as

far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-

box will automatically change down

or maintain the gear selected until

maximum engine speed is reached.

When braking, the gearbox will au-

tomatically change down in order to

provide efi cient engine braking.

If you take your foot off the accel-

erator suddenly, the gearbox will not

change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.

Sport programme
 Press button S once the engine

has been started.

The gearbox automatically favours

sporty driving and more dynamic ac-

celeration.

Snow programme
This programme improves starting

and drive when traction is poor.
 Press button

 once the engine

has been started.

The gearbox adapts to driving on

slippery roads.
Note:

you can return to the auto-

adaptive programme at any time.
 Press button S or

 again to

switch off the programme you are

in.

DRIVING

Manual operation

Manual

changing of the four or six

gears:


select position M in the gate,



push the lever to the + sign to

change to a higher gear,



pull the lever to the - sign to

change to a lower gear.

You can change from position

D

(driving in automatic mode) to po-

sition M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.

Invalid value during manual
operation

Notes
It is only possible to change from one

gear to another if the vehicle speed

and engine speed permit. If they do

not, the vehicle will operate tempo-

rarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-

revving, the gear selected l ashes for

a few seconds, then the actual gear

engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or

moving very slowly, the gearbox au-

tomatically selects gear M1 .
Programme S

(sport) and  (snow)

do not operate in manual mode.

Operating abnormality

Any operating abnormality

is indicated by the display-

ing of this warning light, an

audible signal and a mes-

sage on the multi-function

display.

In this situation the gearbox oper-

ates in downgrade mode (locked in

3rd gear). You may feel a substan-

tial knock when changing from P to

R and from N to R

(this will not cause

any damage to the gearbox).

Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),

keeping within the limit of local speed

restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon

as possible.

If the battery is l at and the

lever is in position P , it will be

impossible to change to an-

other position.

Above all, do not force the le-

ver as there is a risk of damage to the

automatic gearbox.

This is displayed if a gear

is not engaged correctly

(selector between two posi-

tions).

DRIVING

This speed limiter, of the new gener-

ation, has a display on the instrument

panel to indicate the programmed

speed.

It prevents exceeding of the vehicle

speed programmed by the driver.

When the programmed speed is

reached, pressing the accelerator

pedal no longer has any effect.

The limiter operates with a pro-

grammed speed of at least 18 mph

(30 km/h); it remains active regard-

less of any action on the brake and

clutch pedals.

The operating actions must be
carried out:
- when stationary, with the

engine running,

or
- with the vehicle moving.

When the speed limiter function is

active, pressing this button displays

the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-

ton is pressed again, the display re-

turns to the speed limiter function.

Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-

vating the limiter.
Press buttons 2 and 3

briel y to de-

crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).

An extended press decreases or in-

creases by 5 mph (5 km/h).

A maintained press decreases or in-

creases the programmed speed in

steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Selecting the function
 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT

position. The limiter is not yet

active. By default, the display

indicates:

Activating/deactivating the limiter

the speed also l ashes when

the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed

speed (on a steep descent, in the

event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the

accelerator to slow down to a speed

below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off
 Place dial 1

in position 0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the

system off. The last programmed

speed remains in the memory.

Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,

the programmed speed is cleared,

the dashes l ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

In the event of a steep de-

scent or sharp acceleration,

the speed limiter will not be

able to prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed

speed.

In any event, the speed limiter cannot

replace the need to observe speed

limits, nor can it replace the need for

vigilance and responsibility on the

part of the driver.

tion, is linked with the speed limiter. It

has a display on the instrument panel

to indicate the memorised reference

speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a

steady speed programmed by the

driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-

tivated, the vehicle speed must be

greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with

at least fourth gear engaged for ve-

hicles i tted with a manual gearbox.

DRIVING

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four proxim-

ity sensors, located in the rear bum-

per.

This detects any obstacle (person,

vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the

vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-

tect obstacles located just below the

bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar ob-

ject may be detected at the begin-

ning of the manoeuvre, but may no

longer be detected when the vehicle

comes close to it.
Note:

this function will be disarmed

automatically when the vehicle is

towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-

rier is i tted (vehicle i tted with towing

attachment or bicycle carrier recom-

mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that

the sensors are not covered with

mud, frost or snow. When reverse

gear is engaged, an audible signal

(long bleep) indicates that the sen-

sors may be dirty.

The proximity information is given

by:

- an audible signal, which becomes

more rapid as the vehicle

approaches the obstacle,

- a graphic on the multifunction

display, with blocks which become

progressively closer to the vehicle.

Depending on the multifunction dis-

play, the audible signal is transmitted

by a buzzer or by the rear speakers

which transmit:

- on the right if an obstacle is

detected on the right,

- on the left if an obstacle is

detected on the left,

- on the right and on the left if an

obstacle is detected in the centre.

When the distance between the rear

of the vehicle and the obstacle is

less than approximately thirty centi-

metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol

appears depending on the multifunc-

tion display.

 Change to neutral, the system is

again inactive.

If there is an operating fault,

when reverse gear is en-

gaged, the service warning

light comes on, accompanied

by an audible signal (short bleep)

and a message on the multifunction

display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Activation/Deactivation

Activation

The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and displaying of the vehicle, de-

pending on the multifunction display.

The system can be activated

or deactivated from the multi-

function

display coni guration

menu.
The activation and deacti-

vation of the system are memorised

when the engine is switched off.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

There are two marks on

the dipstick:
A

= maximum

Never i ll past this mark.
B = minimum

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives

in engine oil is prohibited.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer’s require-

ments.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Dipstick

Cooling system

Use the l uid recommended by the

manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-

perature of the coolant is controlled

by the engine fan. This fan can oper-

ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with

a particle emission i lter, the fan

can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait for at least one hour

after the engine has stopped before

carrying out any work.

Slacken the cap by two turns to re-

lease the pressure to prevent any

risk of scalding. When the pressure

has dropped, remove the cap and

top up the level.
