6-speed electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronic gear control gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing. There are two driving modes: - automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox, - manual mode for sequential gear changing by the driver. In automated mode, it remains possible to change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles when required, when overtaking, for example.
Gear lever
R. Reverse  With your foot on the brake, lift the lever and push forwards. N. Neutral.  With your foot on the brake, select this position to start. A. Automated mode.  Move the lever backwards to select this mode. M. + / -. Manual mode with sequential gear changing.  Move the lever to the left to select this mode, then: - push it for wards to change up, - or pull it backwards to change down.
+. Change up paddle.  Press the back of the "+" steering mounted paddle to change up a gear. -. Change down paddle.  Press the back of the "-" steering mounted paddle to change down a gear.
Steering mounted control paddles
The steering mounted paddles cannot be used to select neutral, or to engage or disengage reverse gear.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as there is a risk of damaging the gearbox.

Driving
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
Manual gear changing Manual mode
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
You can change gear manually to overtake, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
 When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode.  Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Push the lever towards the - sign to change
down a gear.
The gears engaged appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests 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 permit acceleration in the correct gear.

Driving
Stop & Start 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- for Diesel engines : ● with 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, ● with 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 petrol 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: - 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 start using the key, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some 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.

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 cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
1. Selection of speed limiter mode.
Steering mounted controls
The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument panel screen. 5. Speed limiter on/off indication. 6. Speed limiter mode selection indication. 7. Programmed speed value. 8. Selection of a memorised speed setting.
Displays in the instrument panel
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.
2. Increase the programmed value. 3. Decrease the programmed value. 4. Speed limiter On / Off.
The speed limiter is switched off by manual switched off by manual switched offoperation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.

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 switched off manually switched offor 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. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
The Park Assist system cannot in any circumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with the correct operation of the parking assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
For entry into a parking space (parallel parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle. This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically during manoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, without affecting the manoeuvre.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
The system provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.

In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by road dirt, ice or snow. In the event of a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space. Anything projecting beyond the envelope of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically: - on switching off the ignition, - if the engine stalls, - if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the type of manoeuvre, - after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre, - if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered, - if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit, - when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel, - if the driver presses the Park Assist control, - if correct positioning of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed to insert or extract the vehicle), - if the driver's door is open, - if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically: - when towing a trailer, - if the driver's door is opened, - if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph (70 km/h). To switch the system of for a prolonged period, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a few seconds. If the problem occurs while using the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
In the event of a fault with the power steering, these warning lamps come on in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
