Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate
automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver, when rain
is detected (sensor behind the rear
view mirror), adapting their speed to
the intensity of the rainfall.
Switching on
Give a short downwards push to the control.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.
Switching off
Give the control stalk a brief push downwards
or shift the control stalk to a different position
(Int, 1 or 2). This warning lamp goes off in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen
wipers must be reactivated by pushing the
control stalk downwards, if the ignition has
been off for more than 1
minute.
If the wipers operate in intermittent mode
when in AUTO mode, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Reactivation
Deactivation can be configured in
the Driving / Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 30

mph (50 km/h).
Below 30

mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.
For the 1.6 THP 165 and THP 208 petrol
engines, the reactivation must always be
carried out manually.

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked. ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
Deactivating using the touch screen
The systems no longer have an effect on
engine operation.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up without waiting. During acceleration
change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
give preference to automatic mode and avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage
the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or
automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only
in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal,
and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also help
reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25
mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before using
the air conditioning.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (sunroof and window blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible. Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the
heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as
close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.

vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox shifts down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox shifts down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.

If position R , D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P . Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
If the temperature is below -23°C, the
engine should be left at idle for four
minutes, to ensure the correct operation
and life of the engine and gearbox.

system may suggest changing into neutral so
that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode with Stop & Start). In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.Example:
-

Y

-

Y

-

T
he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-

ging a lower gear. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.Hill start assist
System that holds your vehicle for around
2
seconds, the time to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function.
The information appears on the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.

briefly stop the vehicle from rolling back
when you release the brake pedal.
