At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be takeninto account when the vehicle isimmobilised. A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.

On sharp acceleration, the gearbox willnot change up unless the driver acts onthe gear lever or the steering mountedpaddles. Never select neutral N
while the vehicleis moving. Only engage reverse gear Rwhen thevehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.

The
gear change commands are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permitacceleration in the correct gear. This selective
gear change mode enables you
to over take, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.)Operate the + or -

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 isprogrammed 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, theflashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message in the instrument panelscreen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop. Be
fore 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.


Operating fault Creep function
(moving without pressing
the accelerator)
This function greatly facilitates manoeuvringof the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in a
traffic jam…).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position A , M
or Rselected, the vehicle moves
as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator pedal).
For your safety, this function is only activated
if you press the brake pedal when changing to forward drive or reverse. It is deactivated on opening the driver's door. Closing the door and then pressing the brake or accelerator pedal reactivates the function.
The vehicle does not move without pressing the accelerator pedal if the lever stays in position Nfor more than2 seconds
with the engine running,and the brake pedal is not pressed before selecting position A, M

Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t 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 the electronic gearbox system, at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brakepedal or put the gear lever in position N.
I
f your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the ke
y.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode notavailable
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 star t using
the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goesoff.
This operation is per fectly normal
.

122
Driving
The "ECO"warning lamp goes
off and the engine star ts with the electronic gearboxsystem:
- gear lever in position Aor M
, release the
brake pedal,
- or
gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, move the gear lever toposition A
or M,- or engage reverse gear.
START mode is invoked automaticall
y when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph(11 k m/h) with the electronic gearbox system,

- the electric parking brake is being applied,

- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO"warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restartsimmediately.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lampcoming on accompanied by a message in the screen.

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The s

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"

In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle ma
y stall: all the instrument panelwarning lamps come on. 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 & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of STA R T m o d e .
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed byPEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
To c h a rge the battery, use a 12 V charger andobser ve the polarity.


Maintenance


The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshopwith the skills and equipment required,which a PEUGEOT dealer is able toprovide.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) whenstarting 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, withyour foot on the brake pedal,
- in par ticular conditions on a slope,
- with th
e driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be deactivated.
On an ascendin
g slope, with the vehiclestationary, the vehicle is held for amomentarily when you release the brakepedal:


- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
on an electronic gear control gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M
on an
automatic gearbox.


Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held momentarily when yourelease the brake pedal.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is beingheld in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle withthe engine running, apply the parkingbrake manually then ensure that theparking brake warning lamp (and the warning lamp P
in the lever of theelectric 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 systemchecked.

Speed limiter
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed theprogrammed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched onmanuall
y:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is
switched off by manual foperation of the control.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memorywhen the ignition is switched off.

The speed limiter cannot, in anycircumstances, replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display.
