DRIVING

To limit fuel consumption when sta-

tionary for long periods with the en-

gine running (traffi c jam...), place the

gear lever in position

N and apply

the parking brake.

Return to standard automatic

operation

) At any time, press the button select-

ed again to quit the programme en-

gaged and return to auto-adaptive

mode.

Manual operation

) Select position

M for

sequential

changing of the four or six gears.

) Push the lever towards the + sign to

change up a gear.

) Pull the lever towards the - sign to

change down a gear.

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.

D disappears and the gears

engaged appear in succes-

sion on the instrument panel.

If the engine speed is too low or too

high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few

seconds, 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.

Invalid value during manual

operation

This symbol is displayed if a

gear is not engaged correctly

(selector between two posi-

tions).

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.

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, an audible

signal is heard and a message ap-

pears in the screen.
) Return the lever to position P ;

the audible signal stops and the

message disappears.

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 lever from posi-

tion P to another position when

the battery is fl at.

When the ignition is on, the

lighting of this warning lamp, ac-

companied by an audible signal

and a message in the screen,

indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches

to emergency 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 a speed of 60 mph

(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-

mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if

a door is opened.

DRIVING

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the engine

temporarily on standby - STOP mode -

during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-

fi c 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 the 6-speed electronic gear

control gearbox , at a speed below

5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the

brake pedal or put the gear lever

into position N .

If your vehicle is fi tted with

the system, a time counter

calculates the sum of the

periods in STOP mode dur-

ing a journey. It rests itself to

zero every time the ignition

is switched on with the key.

With the automatic gearbox system,

for your comfort during parking ma-

noeuvres, STOP mode is not avail-

able 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 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 pas-

senger compartment,

demisting is on,

- some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, braking

assistance, ambient temperature...)

where the engine is needed to as-

sure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO" warning

lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,

then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

161

DRIVING

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 the 6-speed electronic gear

control 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 position A

or M ,

● or when you engage reverse gear.

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

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 as-

sure control of a system.

In this case the "ECO" warning

lamp fl ashes for few seconds,

then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Deactivation

If the system has been deactivated

in STOP mode, the engine restarts

immediately.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch

to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-

ing lamp coming on accompanied by a

message in the screen.

Reactivation

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

by the switch warning lamp going off and a

message in the instrument panel.

The system is reactivated auto-

matically at every new start using

the key.

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 mes-

sage is displayed asking you to de-

press the clutch pedal to restart the

engine.

162

DRIVING

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction with the

system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning

lamp fl ashes, then comes on continu-

ously.
have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed 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 ig-

nition and start the engine again using

the key.

Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,

deactivate the Stop & Start system

to avoid any risk of injury resulting

from automatic operation of START

mode.

This system requires a specifi c battery

with a special specifi cation and techno-

logy (reference numbers available from

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT

introduces the risk of malfunction of the

system.

The Stop & Start system makes use

of advanced technology. All work on

this type of battery must be done

only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING

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 controls of this system are grouped

together on stalk A .
   1.   Speed limiter mode selection dial
  2.   Value decrease button
  3.   Value increase button
  4.   Speed limiter on / off button

The programmed information is grouped

together on the instrument panel screen.

Steering mounted controls

Displays in the instrument panel

The speed limiter cannot, in any

circumstances, replace the need to

respect speed limits, nor can it re-

place the need for vigilance and re-

sponsibility on the part of the driver.

The speed limiter is switched on manu-

ally: 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 exceed-

ed temporarily by pressing the accelera-

tor 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.

164

DRIVING

On a steep descent or in the event

of sharp acceleration, the speed

limiter 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 another.

Programming

) Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:

the speed limiter mode is selected

but is not switched on (OFF).

You do not have to switch the speed

limiter on in order to set the speed.

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 intentional 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 malfunc-

tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

) 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.: 55 mph

(90 km/h)).

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 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 .

DRIVING

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) and the en-

gagement of:
-

fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear in sequential mode on

the electronic gear control gearbox

or automatic gearbox,

- position

A on the electronic gear

control gearbox or

D on the auto-

matic gearbox.

The controls of this system are grouped

together on stalk A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Speed programming / programmed

value decrease button

Displays in the instrument panel

The cruise control cannot, in any

circumstances, replace the need to

observe speed limits, nor can it re-

place the need for vigilance and re-

sponsibility on the part of the driver.

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.

166

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 another.

Programming

) Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" posi-

tion: the cruise control mode is se-

lected 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 in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or

unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels

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 malfunc-

tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

) Set the programmed speed by

accelerating to the required

speed, then press button

2 or

(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).

) Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the

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

) Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4

again.

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 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.

167

DRIVING

PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an

obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)

which comes within the fi eld of detection

of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-

works cone, etc.) detected initially will

no longer be detected at the end of the

manoeuvre due to the presence of blind

spots.

This function cannot, in any cir-

cumstances, take the place of the

vigilance and responsibility of the

driver.

Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging

reverse gear. This is accompanied by

an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you

exit reverse gear.

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency

of which increases as the vehicle ap-

proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right

or left) indicates the side on which the

obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle

and the obstacle becomes less than ap-

proximately thirty centimetres, the audible

signal becomes continuous.

This supplements the audible signal

by displaying bars in the multifunction

screen which move progressively nearer

to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near,

the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in

the screen.

Visual assistance

168

DRIVING

Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the

front parking sensors are triggered when

an obstacle is detected in front and the

speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph

(10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted

if the vehicle stops for more than three

seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-

stacles are detected or when the speed of

the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Deactivation / Activation of the front

and rear parking sensors

Deactivation / Activation of the rear

parking sensors

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).

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 beep) 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.

The function is deactivated by pressing

this button. The indicator lamp in the

button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates

the function. The indicator lamp in the

button goes off.

The function is deactivated

or activated via the vehicle

confi guration menu.
The status of the function

is stored when the ignition

is switched off.

For more information on access to the

parking sensors menu, refer to the sec-

tion covering the confi guration of vehicle

systems.

In the event of a malfunction of

the system, when reverse gear

is engaged this warning lamp

is displayed in the instrument

panel and/or a message appears in the

screen, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front

or rear) indicates whether the obstacle

is in front or behind.

CHECKS

CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly and

top them up if necessary, unless other-

wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop.

Brake fluid level

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.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the

cap by two turns to allow the pressure to

drop. When the pressure has dropped,

remove the cap and top up the level.

Oil level

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.

This manual check will only be correct

if the vehicle is on level ground and

the engine has been off for more than

30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when

switching on the ignition with the oil level

indicator in the instrument panel will only

be valid 30 minutes after topping up.

The brake fl uid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is

not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details

of the interval for this operation.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level

should be close to the "MAX"

mark. Unscrew the cap, with the

engine cold, to check the level.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details

of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emission control system,

the use of additives in the engine oil is

prohibited.

It is normal to top up the oil level

between services. PEUGEOT re-

commends that you check the oil

level and top up if necessary every

3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations and

meet the DOT4 standard.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be

close to the "MAX" mark but

should never exceed it.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-

ture of the coolant is regulated by the

fan. This can operate with the ignition

off.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bonnet,

take care, as certain areas of the

engine may be extremely hot (risk

of burns).

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for

your engine and conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.
