DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the handbrake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the hand-
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .

"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear. Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
D .

"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on
the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can
resume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position
N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message

"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
display, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.

Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the in-
strument panel display.
Select fi rst gear (position D or +/- ) or re-
verse (position R ).
Release the handbrake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel display. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.

DRIVING
Operating anomaly Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator light
R on the
instrument panel display, accompanied
by an audible signal, indicates a mal-
function on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning light
comes on, accompanied by vibration
in the pedals and the message "Main-
tenance required" on the instrument
panel display, this indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake and let the en-
gine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a dealer of
the Marque without delay.

Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.

CHECKS
Bonnet strut
OPENING THE BONNET
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly locked.

From outside: move the catch to the
left then raise the bonnet. Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace the
strut in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior control and the bonnet strut with
care (risk of burns).

From inside: pull the handle A , on the
right-hand side below the door, towards
you. If you run out of fuel, fi ll the tank and op-
erate the starter until the engine starts.
Several attempts must be made before
the engine re-starts.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS CHECKING LEVELS 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
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the igni-
tion 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. Wash-wipe and headlamp wash
fluid*
Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Draining the engine
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.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's recom-
mendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.
Power steering fluid level
Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
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 circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).
