Manual operation
)
Select position M
for sequential
changing
of the six gears.
)
Pull the lever towards the +
sign to change
up a gear.
)
Push the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
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, a
message appears in the
instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox 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
. 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.
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.
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 M1
automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position when the battery
is flat.
If the lever is not in position P
, when the
driver'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.
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.

Before carrying out any work in the
engine compar tment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle

flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the instrument panel
screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop. Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Driving
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new star t using the key.
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"

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. It is then necessary to switch
off the ignition and star t the engine again using
the key.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a 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.
Maintenance
The Stop & Star t 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.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- in par ticular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A
or M
on an electronic
gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in D
or M
on an automatic
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp (and the
warning lamp P
in the lever of the
electric parking brake) are on fixed (not
flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is star ted.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate it manually.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
