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.

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Manual reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off,
accompanied by 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. All of the warning lamps
come on. It is then necessary to switch off
the

ignition and start the engine again using
t h e key. The Stop & Start
requires the use of a
12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the
12 V battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid the
risk of injury related to an automatic change to
S TA R T m o d e .
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.

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.

Reversing camera
Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors. The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle.
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a
soft, dry cloth.
Some deformation of the image is
normal.
It is normal to be able to see part of
the number plate at the bottom of the
screen.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching on the lamps

switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.

sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of 30 minutes to
avoid discharging the battery.
