Gearbox and steering wheel

Manual mode

Changing to manual mode

Move the gear selector to M.

Automatic mode

Changing to automatic
mode

Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
-

driving style,

- road profile,
-

optimum fuel consumption.

Vehicle stationary, with
the engine running

In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.

Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.

Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N.

Acceleration

For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by

pressing down firmly.

Changing gear

In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver

operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle.

Pull on the "+" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change down.

-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down

automatically, to first gear if

needed.

-

It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.

-

A gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.

-

For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP

mode - during stops in the traffic (red

lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to
move off.
The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation

Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:

-

with a manual gearbox, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

-

with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox

, at speeds below 5 mph

(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position N.

If your vehicle is fitted with the system,

a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.

With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or falling),

-

the driver's door is open,

-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,

-

the vehicle has not exceeded 6
mph (10 km/h) since the last engine
start using the key,

-

the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

-

demisting is on,

-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp flashes for a

few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap03_Pret-a-partir_ed02-2016

Stop & Start

Going into engine START mode

The "ECO" warning lamp
goes off and the engine
starts:

-

with a manual gearbox, when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,

-

with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox:

● gear lever in position A or M,

when you release the brake
pedal,

● or gear lever in position N and

the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear lever to posi-
tion A or M,

● or when you engage reverse

gear.

With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is
invoked automatically when:
-

you open the driver's door,

-

you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

-

the speed of the vehicle exceeds

15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual

gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with
the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system,

-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In this case the "ECO"

warning lamp flashes for

few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Deactivation

In certain circumstances, such as
the need to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be preferable
to deactivate Stop & Start.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch to deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning

lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is

confirmed by the switch warning

lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel.

In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the
"ECO OFF" switch warning

lamp flashes, then comes on

continuously.

have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. All of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel come
on. It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition and start the engine again
using the key.

This system requires a specific

battery with a special specification

and technology (reference

numbers available from a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.

The Stop & Start system

requires a battery of specific

characteristics. All work on this

type of battery must be done only

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to "Battery" in section 8.

Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START mode.

Driving on flooded roads

Before driving through a flooded road,

it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly

on flooded roads, refer to the

corresponding section.

HILL START ASSIST

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release
the brake pedal, without using the
parking brake, you have approximately
2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,

-

when the parking brake is applied,

-

when the engine is switched off,

-

when the engine stalls.

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and

confirmed by a message in

the screen. Have the system checked

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic
stability control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following conditions:
-

the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

-

the gradient of the road must be

steeper than 5%,

-

uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

-

downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.

The Hill Start Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS

Observe the driving regulations and

remain vigilant whatever the traffic

conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and

keep your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver
must only carry out actions requiring
sustained attention when the vehicle is
stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two
hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly,

anticipate the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.

Driving on flooded roads

We strongly advise against driving

on flooded roads, as this could cause

serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive through
water:

-

check that the depth of water does

not exceed 15 cm, taking account

of waves that might be generated
by other users,

-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,

-

drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),

-

do not stop and do not switch off
the engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon

as circumstances allow, make several
light brake applications to dry the brake
discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!

Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or leave the engine running over areas

where inflammable substances and

materials are present: grass, leaves,
etc.

Never leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running. If you have to leave

your vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position N or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.

Important!

detected in the tank, basd on the
average consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary

significantly following a change in the

vehicle speed or the relief of the route.

Current fuel consumption: only
calculated and displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).

Average fuel consumption: this is the
average fuel consumption since the
last trip computer zero reset.

Distance travelled: calculated since
the last trip computer zero reset.

Distance remaining to the
destination: calculated with reference to

the final destination, entered by the user.

If guidance is activated, the navigation
system calculates it as a current value.

Average speed: this is the average
