DRIVING

Stopping - Starting on a slope


Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the parking brake instead.

When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
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 in the instrument
panel screen.
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 in the instrument panel
screen.
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 conditions of:


- 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 take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual 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, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating anomaly

With the ignition on, if the message "Slow
down"
or "Maintenance required"
ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, this in-
dicates a gearbox malfunction.
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 or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.

Start the engine. "N"
appears in the in-
strument panel screen.
Select fi rst gear (position D
or +/-
) or
reverse (position R

Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D"
or "1"
or "R"
appear in the instru-
ment panel screen. 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
DCS GEARBOX DCS GEA
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:


- a manual
mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steering
mounted controls or the gear lever,

- a " Normal
" automatic mode for eco-
nomical control of the gears (everyday
use),

- a " Sport
" automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking.

Hill start assist

To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approximate-
ly 2 seconds), the time required to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal. This function is only
active when the vehicle has been com-
pletely immobilised with your foot on the
brake pedal and on certain gradients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

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.
It is normal to top up the engine oil be-
tween services. The manufacturer recom-
mends that the oil level be checked, and
topped up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level must be mea-
sured 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 ig-
nition 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.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
