Comfort
 Select: - immediate to start the heating or ventilation (once confirmed "OK"), - the first clock to programme/store your departure time, - the second clock to programme/store a second departure time. Depending on the departure time chosen, the system calculates automatically the optimum time to start operating.
The immediate or programmed activation of Ventilation mode depends on the temperatures inside and outside the vehicle.
Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion. To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction. Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire. Using these two clocks and according to season you can, for example, select one or the other departure time. A message in the instrument panel screen confirms your choice.
Only one programmed or immediate preheating/preventilation can be activated between two starts of the vehicle.
The heating and the ventilation in immediate or programmable mode is not activated when: - the fuel level is too low, - the battery is not sufficiently charged.
To programme the heating and the ventilation, it is necessary to first deactivate the alarm volumetric and tilt monitoring (see the "Alarm" section).

Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases automatically and progressivelywhen you press the accelerator:  Manual gearbox: press down fully on the clutch pedal, engage first gear or reverse, press on the accelerator pedal and move off.  Electronic gear control gearbox : select position A , M or R then press on the accelerator pedal.  Automatic gearbox: select position D , M or R then press on the accelerator pedal.
Full release of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A going of f, A going of f, A
- display of the message "Parking brake off ".
When stationary, with the engine running, do not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily, as you may release the parking brake.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on fixed, not flashing.
Immobilising the vehicle,
engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle stationary, in order to immobilise the vehicle
it is essential to manually apply the parking brake by pulling control lever A . The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A ,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened, a loud beep is heard and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied, unless the gear lever is in position P (Park) in the case of an automatic gearbox.
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pushing then releasingcontrol lever A . The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by the warning lamps in the control lever A and in the instrument panel going off and display of the message "Handbrake off ". If a parking brake fault occurs while applied or if the battery runs flat, an emergency release is always possible. In order to ensure correct operation and so your safety, the number of successive application/release operations of the parking brake is limited to eight. In the event of abuse, you are alerted by a message "Parking brake faulty" and a warning lamp flashes.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake, a continuous pull on the control lever Awill stop the vehicle. The dynamic stability control provides stability during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by the lighting of this warning lamp, then braking stability is not guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A .
Emergency parking brake release
 If your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor.  On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels.
In the event of fault with the electric parking brake or a battery failure, an emergency mechanical control can be used to manually release the parking brake.
 Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the brake pedal has not been released), with the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P (automatic gearbox) or M or R (electronic gear control gearbox).  Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the vehicle, do not operate this control and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.

Driving
 Pass your fingers under the edge of the
gaiter (below the gear lever surround).  Unclip the surround by spreading the tongues (located below) then pull away the assembly of surround and gaiter.
With an emergency release, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer be assured once the mechanical release has started and the mechanical
control cannot be used to apply the parking brake again. Do not carry out any action on lever A , or stop / start the engine while the release control is engaged. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The control C cannot be used to apply the parking brake. To re-engage the electric parking brake (after correction of the fault or battery failure), make a long pull on the control lever A until the parking brake warning lamp (!) flashes in the instrument panel, then make a second long pull until this warning lamp comes on fixed (not flashing).
 Turn the surround/gaiter assembly for
access to the lever.  Pull hard on the control C to release the parking brake. A loud knock confirms the release of the brake.  Take care to refit the control in its housing.  Replace the surround/gaiter assembly.

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; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in 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 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.
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 M1automatically. The sport 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 Pto another position when the battery is flat. 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.
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.

Driving
Stop & Start 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 the electronic gearbox system , 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.
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...
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 of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Driving
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts with the electronic gearbox system :
- 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.
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.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
In this case the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off. If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
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.
Deactivation
This operation is perfectly normal.

123
Driving
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start 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" 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.
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 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.
Maintenance
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.

Visibility
Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle’s exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is started making the vehicle more visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured: - in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps. - for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
