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.

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.

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.

Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any
work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Coolant level
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
