HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle. When the vehicle is being
driven, illumination of
this warning light and
of the STOP warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction etdisplay, indicates that
the handbrake is still on or has not
been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the
button to release the handbrake.

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P :

 it is essential to press the brake
pedal,

 release the handbrake,

 select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N .
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position

R , D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard and a message
appears when the driver’s door is
opened or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off. Move
the lever to P . The audible signal
stops and the message disappears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, ap-
ply the handbrake and select
position
P . Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R unless the vehicle is
stationary.
Never change between positions
to optimise braking on a slippery
surface.
Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four or
six gears:

 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts the
gear in relation to the style of driving,
the road proi le and the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go (kick down). The gearbox
will automatically change down or
maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order
to provide efi cient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport programme

 Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.

 Press button  once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.

Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.

 Press button S or  again to
switch off the programme you are
in.

Manual operation

Manual changing of the four or six
gears:

 select position M in the gate,

 push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,

 pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to
position M (driving in manual mode)
at any time.
Invalid value during manual
operation Notes
It is only possible to change from
one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit. If
they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected l ashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear
M1 .
Programme S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality
is indicated by the
displaying of this warning
light, an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R
(this will not cause any damage to the
gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is l at and the
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change to
another position.
Above all, do not force the lever
as there is a risk of damage to the
automatic gearbox.
This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector between two
positions).

DRIVING
This speed limiter, of the new
generation, has a display on the
instrument panel to indicate the
programmed speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle
speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed is
reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a programmed
speed of at least 18 mph (30 km/h); it
remains active regardless of any action
on the brake and clutch pedals.

The operating actions must be
carried out:
- when stationary, with the
engine running,
or
- with the vehicle moving. When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this
button is pressed again, the display
returns to the speed limiter function. Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without
activating the limiter.
Press buttons
2 and 3 briel y to
decrease or increase by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or
increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or
increases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Selecting the function

 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT
position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates: Activating/deactivating the limiter

Note: the speed also l ashes when
the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. Switching the function off

 Place dial 1 in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch the
system off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared,
the dashes l ash for a few seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. In the event of a steep descent
or sharp acceleration, the
speed limiter will not be able
to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly.
- never i t one mat on top of another.
Exceeding the programmed
speed

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty. The proximity information is given
by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.
Depending on the multifunction
display, the audible signal is
transmitted by a buzzer or by the rear
speakers which transmit:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and on the left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the
"Danger" symbol appears depending
on the multifunction display.
 Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal (short bleep)
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the multifunction
display. The system can be activated
or deactivated from the
multifunction display
coni guration menu.
The activation and deacti-
vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.
Switching the system off
