Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
the keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
th

engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer as soon as possible. For reasons of safety and theft
protection, do not leave your electronic
key in the vehicle, even when you are
close to it.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
th
e ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
the
emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
necessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the system.

stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.

gear shift indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-

Y
ou are in third gear.example:
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.-
t
h
e system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
th

e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
can be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
th

e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
th

e system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Operation
On certain Diesel versions with
manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral (
N is
displayed in the instrument panel) so
that the engine can go into standby
(Stop mode with Stop & Start), in
certain driving conditions.
the

gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory.
th

is is because the configuration of the road,
traffic density and safety remain important
factors in the choice of the best gear.
th

e gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
th

is function cannot be deactivated.

Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the six gears.
th

e 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).
t
h
e 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.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Sport and snow programmes
these two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.

F At any time, press the button selected (S or " T") again at any time to quit the
programme engaged and return to auto-
adaptive mode.
Creep function (moving
without using the
accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or

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
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 P
to R and from N to R.
th

is 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 P

You risk damaging the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.
to r

educe 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.
