Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to change gear.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a


higher gear.
6
Driving

80
The information appears on the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,…) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,…).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
With an ETG gearbox, the system is only
active in manual mode.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver's door closed. The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-

p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on
a


manual gearbox.
-

p
rovided you are in position E or M with an
ETG gearbox. On a
descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, this
w arning lamp comes on. Contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
Driving

86
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver (steep hill…).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Press the end of the control: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it signals
a
malfunction of the limiter. Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
s ystem that aims to avoid a frontal collision or
to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react or reacts too late (brake applied
too late).
This system has been designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope…) at a
distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
t he top of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle moving in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a
collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to inter vene only
when there is a
high risk of collision.
Driving

87
Conditions of activation
Active City Brake functions if the following
conditions are met:
•
T
he engine is running.
•

T
he vehicle is moving for ward.
•
For triggering the pre-collision warning :
-

t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15
and 140 km/h),
-

t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 9
mph (15 km/h).
•
For help in braking :
-

t
he speed is between about 19 and
50
mph (30 and 80 km/h),
-

t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 19
mph (30 km/h).
•
For automatic pre-collision braking :
-

t
he speed is between about 6 and
50
mph (10 and 80 km/h),
-

t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 6
mph (10 km/h)
•

t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, EBA) are not faulty.
•

T
he trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)
hare not deactivated or faulty.
•

T
he vehicle is not making a sharp turn.
•

T
he system has not triggered in the last ten
seconds.
Operation
Three functional stages are possible:
• P re-collision warning : if risk of a
collision
with a
vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal, to warn the driver to take avoiding
action. The triggering thresholds of the
warning can be set.
•

Br
aking assistance : increases the braking
started by the driver, but only if a
risk of
collision is detected.
•

A
utomatic pre-collision braking : if
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle
in front of you too quickly, the system
will automatically engage the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. The collision
can be automatically avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and the
one in front of you is not more than 18
mph
(30


km/h).Then you are alerted by the display
of this warning indicator in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The brake lamps of your vehicle are lit to warn
other users.
The automatic braking can lead to the complete
stop of the vehicle if the situation requires. Unless the driver de-clutches quickly
enough during automatic braking,
triggering of the system may cause the
engine to stall.

Compatibility of fuels

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:
Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715001


standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a


dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
