Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:
-
a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

sp
ort programme for a more dynamic style
of driving,
-

s
now programme to improve driving when
traction is poor,
-

s
equential operation for manual changing
of the gears by the driver.

Sport and snow programmes
Sport programme "S"
F Press button "S", after starting the engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
style of driving.

Snow programme " T"
F Press button " T", after starting the
engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
This programme improves starting and drive
when traction is poor.

engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
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 M1
automatically.

Gear shift indicator
Operation
- You are in third gear. Example:
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal. -

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
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,
-
enga

ging a lower gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

for e-HDi Diesel engines:
●

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
place the gear lever into neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal,
●

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear lever
into position N ,
-

for e-VTI and e -THP petrol engines and
BlueHDi Diesel engines, with the vehicle
stationary. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off
the
ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, 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 not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t
he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
A time counter 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 key. The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The

engine restarts 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 & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

w
hen certain conditions of gradient are
met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
-

i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox*,
-

i
f you are in position A or M with an
electronic gearbox,
-

i
f you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
* Depending on version.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually: the
programmed speed must be at least 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the electronic stability system for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating fault
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Front parking
sensors*
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
* Available only with the Park Assist system. The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front
or behind.
Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
