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.
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.

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   un-
less  the  vehicle  is  completely  sta-
tionary.

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  par-
king 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 selec-

ted again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.

118

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

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.

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 (selec-
tor between two positions).

119

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 controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk  A .
   1.   Speed limiter mode selection dial

replace  the  need  for  vigilance  and
responsibility  on  the  part  of  the
driver.

120

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.

 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

again.

 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.

121

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 gearbox,

second gear with the 2 Tronic or
automatic gearbox, in sequential
mode,

position A on the 2 Tronic gearbox
or D on the automatic gearbox.

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.
To  return  to  the  programmed  speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching  off  the  ignition  cancels  any
programmed speed value.

You  are  advised  to  keep  your  feet
near the pedals at all times.

122

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 display.
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 sen-
sors, 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 sensors are switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.

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

The proximity information is indicated by:
-

an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,

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

124

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.

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 ignition
off.

On vehicles which are ﬁ tted with a par-

ticle emission ﬁ lter, the fan may oper-

ate 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.
