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  posi-
tion   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 lever as
there is a risk of damage to the auto-
matic gearbox.

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

DRIVING

This speed limiter, of the new genera-
tion,  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 en-
gine 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 posi-

tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default, the display indicates:

  Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button  4  once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again de-
activates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

Note:

the speed also l ashes when

the  limiter  cannot  prevent  the  vehi-
cle 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  sys-
tem  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.
To  avoid  any  risk  of  jamming  of  the
pedals:
   -

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly.

- never i t one mat on top of another.

  Exceeding the programmed
speed
In  exceptional  circumstances,  use
this mode to exceed the programmed
speed.
Pressing  the  accelerator  in  order  to
exceed  the  programmed  speed  will
have  no  effect  unless  you  press  the
pedal

i rmly beyond the point of re-

sistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the speed displayed on the instru-

ment panel l ashes (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):

This  cruise  control,  of  the  new  gen-
eration, is linked with the speed lim-
iter. It has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the memorised ref-
erence 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 vehi-

cles i tted with a manual gearbox.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
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 object
may  be  detected  at  the  beginning  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

carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with

towing  attachment  or  bicycle  carrier
recommended 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 ap-
proaches the obstacle,

a graphic on the multifunction dis-
play, 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 engaged,
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
signal and displaying of the vehi-
cle, depending on the multifunction
display.

The system can be activated
or deactivated from the mul-

tifunction display coni gura-

tion 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

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

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.

wash level

Diesel additive level (Diesel

with particle emission filter)

If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied  by  a  message  and  an
audible  signal,  this  indicates  a  low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

Brake fluid level

* According to engine.

Oil level

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.

The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.

Power steering reservoir

Remove  the  style  trim *   (see  §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open  the  reservoir,  with  the  engine
at  ambient  temperature.  The  level
should  always  be  above  the  MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.

For  best  quality  cleaning  and
for  your  safety,  we  would  ad-
vise  that  you  use  products
recommended by PEUGEOT.

Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer's

servicing

schedule.

Use l uids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.

CHECKS

Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction  in  the  performance
of  the  system,  the  hand-
brake  should  be  adjusted,

even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that the particle emission

i lter is maintained in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
  Note:   following  prolonged  operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle,  you  may,  in  exceptional  cases,
notice  discharges  of  water  vapour
at  the  exhaust  on  acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment.

Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.

Disc and drum wear

status

For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.

To  ensure  best  performance  from
components  as  important  as  the
power  steering  and  the  braking  sys-
tem,  PEUGEOT  selects  and  offers

quite specii c products.
To  prevent  damage  to  the  electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the  engine  compartment  is  strictly
prohibited .

Oil filter

Used products

Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter

Do not dispose of used oil,

brake l uid or coolant into

drains or onto the ground.

Empty  the  used  oil  into  the  contain-
ers  provided  for  this  purpose  in  the
PEUGEOT network.

Battery

At  the  start  of  winter,  have
your  battery  checked  by  a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake pads

It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.

Handbrake
