 Pass your fingers under the edge ofthe gaiter below the gear lever gate.  Unclip the gate by spreading the tongues (located below) then pull away the assembly of selector gate and gaiter.
With an emergency release, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer be assured once the mechanical release has star ted and the mechanical control cannot be used to apply the parking brake again. Do not carry out any action on lever A , or stop/start the engine while the release control is engaged. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The control C cannot be used to apply the parking brake. To re-engage the electric parking brake (after correction of the fault or battery failure), make a long pull on the control lever A until the parking brake warning lamp (!) flashes in the instrument panel, then make a second long pull until this warning lamp comes on fixed
(not flashing).
 Turn the selector gate/gaiter assembly for access to the lever.  Pull hard on the control C to release the parking brake. A loud knock confirms the release of the brake.  Take care to refit the control in its housing.  Replace the selector gate/gaiter assembly.

Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears.  Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Push 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; other wise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
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, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault . In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R and from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes 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 moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery
is flat. If the lever is not in position P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.  Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

Driving
You must press the brake pedal when star ting the engine. Whatever the circumstances, you must manually apply the parking brake when parking, unless the parking brake is programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must place the gear lever in neutral N . Before carrying out any work in the engine compar tment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox. Have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can choose to: - move to position N to engage neutral, - leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle. In both cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Driving
The system is reactivated automatically at every new star t using the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and star t the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Star t system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
Maintenance
The Stop & Star t system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when star ting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This system only operates when: - the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, - in par ticular conditions on a slope, - with the driver’s door closed. The hill star t assist system cannot be deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a momentarily when you release the brake pedal: - provided you are in first gear or neutral on a manual gearbox, - provided you are in A or M on an electronic gear control gearbox, - provided you are in D or M on an automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationar y and reverse gear engaged,the vehicle is held momentarily when you release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill star t assist phase. If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp (and the warning lamp P in the lever of the electric parking brake) are on fixed (not flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).  Press the "ESP OFF" button again to
reactivate it manually.
 Press the "ESP OFF" button.
This warning lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.
