Moving off
With your foot on the brake, select position P or N . Start the engine. If this procedure is not followed, there is an audible signal, accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen. With the engine running, press the brake pedal. Release the parking brake, unless it is programmed to automatic mode. Select position R , D or M , Gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off immediately.
Automatic operation
Select position D for automatic changing of the six gears. The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the style of driving, the profile of the road and the load in the vehicle. For maximum acceleration without touching the lever, press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down automatically or maintains the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached. On braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide efficient engine braking. If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R , D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle without supervision. When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P . P . P
If position N is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then engage position D to accelerate.
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.

These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
Return to automatic
operation
At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears. Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear. Pull the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
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 M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
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.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R and from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears. Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.

Driving
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:
- with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the 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.
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 electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - 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.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; 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...

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts with an electronic gearbox :
- gear lever in position A or M , release the brake pedal, - or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, move the gear lever to position A or M , - or engage reverse gear.
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
START mode is invoked automatically when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph (11 km/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.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed 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" 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 the instrument panel warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and observe the polarity.
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.

Visual and audible front and rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, installed in the front and/or rear bumper. It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, barrier...) located behind the vehicle, however, it will not be able to detect obstacles located immediately below the bumper.
The parking sensors are switched on : - by engaging reverse gear, - at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal and display of the vehicle in the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated by: - an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle, - a graphic in the multifunction screen, with blocks which move closer to the vehicle. The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers;
front or rear and right or left. When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears, depending on the multifunction screen version.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may be detected at the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer be detected when the vehicle moves nearer to it.

Driving
The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation Operating fault
Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.
Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
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. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.

Reversing camera
A reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. The colour image of the rear of the vehicle is provided in the navigation screen.
This system is a driving aid that does not replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver, who must remain in control of the vehicle at all times.
Depending on version, coloured lines are also displayed in the screen:
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a sponge and a soft cloth. When cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure jet wash, keep the end of the lance at least 30 cm from the camera.
- The green lines represent the general direction of the vehicle. - The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper. The audible signal becomes continuous from this limit. - The blue lines represent the maximum turning circle.
