* According to engine.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up

on vehicles fi tted with a manual gear-

box.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-

ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,

the amount of traffi c and safety remain

determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Example:
-

You are in third gear.

-

You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

-

The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow on the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-

mance of the engine (fi rm pres-

sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
-

engaging reverse gear,

-

engaging a lower gear.

DRIVING

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

Four-speed automatic gearbox which
offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
-

automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,

-

sport programme for a more dynamic
style of driving,

-

snow programme to improve driving
when traction is poor,

-

manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

Moving off

 Apply the parking brake.
 Select position P or N .
 Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, an au-
dible signal is heard, accompanied by a
message on the multifunction screen.
 With the engine running, press the

brake pedal.

 Release the parking brake.
 Select position R , D or M ,
 Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.

If position N is engaged inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D to accelerate.

The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-

ing to the style of driving, the profi le of

the road and the load in the vehicle.

Automatic operation

 Select position D for automatic

changing of the four gears.

 appears on the instrument

panel.

Snow programme "  "
 Press button "  ", after starting the

engine.

The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-
pery roads.
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.

S appears on the instrument
panel.

Sport programme "S"
 Press button "S" , after starting the

engine.

The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.

Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is completely
stationary.

When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position
R , D or M is selected, the vehicle
moves even without the accelera-
tor being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake and select position P .

Sport and snow programmes

These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very

specifi c conditions of use.

Return to automatic operation

 At any time, press the button se-

lected again to quit the programme
engaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.

For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down

automatically to provide effi cient engine

braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.

!

DRIVING

106

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-

if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

-

if you force the movement of
the gear lever from the P posi-
tion to another position when

the battery is fl at.

To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the

engine running (traffi c jam...), put

the gear lever in the N position and
apply the parking brake.

Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential

changing of the four gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to

change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to

change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of the engine la-
bouring or over-revving, the

gear selected fl ashes for a few sec-

onds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

If the lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction
screen.
 Return the lever to position P ;

the message disappears.

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.

Invalid value during manual
operation

This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-

tifunction screen, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial 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), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.

DRIVING

107

SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-

celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

!

DRIVING

On a steep descent, the speed lim-
iter will not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of an-

other.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:

the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

fi rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically

cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is

deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a speed limiter mal-
function, the speed is cleared result-

ing in fl ashing of the dashes. Contact a

PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.:

70 mph (110 km/h).

You can then change the programmed speed using but-
tons 2 and 3 :

- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .
 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the dis-

play confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engaging:
-

of fourth gear on the manual gear-
box,

-

of second gear on the automatic
gearbox, in sequential mode,

-

of position D on the automatic gear-
box.

The cruise control is switched off man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.

near the pedals at all times.

!

DRIVING

When the cruise control is switched
on, be careful if you maintain the
pressure on one of the programmed
speed changing buttons: this may
result in a very rapid change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of an-

other.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" po-

sition: the cruise control mode is
selected but is not switched on
(OFF).

Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed

speed results in fl ashing of this speed on the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-

cels the fl ashing of the speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is

deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the speed is cleared result-

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
PARKING SENSORS

System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.

It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper.

The parking sensors are switched on
by engaging reverse gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal.

* According to version.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar

object may be detected at the start

of the manoeuvre but may no lon-
ger be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it.

When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous and
the "Danger" symbol appears, depend-
ing on the multifunction screen version.

The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.

The parking sensors are switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.

The proximity information is indicated
by:
-

an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,

-

a diagram on the multifunction
screen * , with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.

Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors

Operating fault

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long bleep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

If an operating fault occurs,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or

a message appears on the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
bleep).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

The status of the function is stored
when the ignition is switched off.
For further details about the access
to the parking sensors menu, refer

to the vehicle confi guration section

corresponding to your multifunction
screen.

The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed

or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle

fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-

rier recommended by PEUGEOT.

The function is deactivated
or activated via the multi-

function screen confi gura-

tion menu.

top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).

Brake fluid level

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.

The brake fl uid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the

temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a

particle emission fi lter, the fan may

operate after the vehicle has been

switched off, even if the engine is

cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

The minimum level of this fl uid

is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.
