 ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER 
 All of the keys contain an electronic  
immobiliser device. 
 This device locks the engine supply system. 
It is activated automatically when the key is 
removed from the ignition. 
 After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue 
is established between the key and the 
electronic immobiliser system.  This warning light is switched off 
after the ignition is switched on 
and the key has been recognised, 
the engine can be started. 
 If the key is not recognised, the engine 
cannot be started. Use another key and 
have the faulty key checked by a  PEUGEOT 
dealer . 
  Good practice 
 Do not make any modifications to the  
electronic immobiliser system. 
 Operating the remote control, even when it 
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary 
unlocking of the doors. 
 The simultaneous use of other high 
frequency equipment (mobile telephones, 
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the 
operation of the remote control temporarily. 
  
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:   
   -   ensure that you are given the confidential  card, 
  -   have the keys memorised by a   PEUGEOT dealer  to ensure that the keys 
in your possession are the only ones 
which can start the vehicle.  
 Driving with the doors locked may  
make access to the passenger 
compartment by the emergency services 
more difficult in an emergency. 
 As a safety precaution (with children on 
board), remove the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.  
 ALARM 
 This provides:  
   -   exterior perimeter protection by means of  detectors on the doors and bonnet and 
on the electrical supply, 
  -   interior protection,  
  -   anti-lift protection,  
  -   protection against the unauthorised  insertion of a key in the starter.  
 The equipment includes a siren. 
  Activation of the alarm 
 First ensure that all of the accesses are  
closed correctly. 
 The alarm is activated by pressing 
this control, the protection is 
active after a few seconds. 
 While the alarm is monitoring, any 
intrusion triggers the siren for approximately 
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the 
direction indicators. 
 The alarm then returns to monitoring mode. 
 The alarm is also triggered following an 
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is 
restored.

    Gearbox and steering wheel    
  Stopping - Starting on a slope 
 This gearbox is a piloted manual gearbox  
which does not have a clutch pedal. 
  
Do not use the accelerator pedal to 
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply 
the handbrake instead.   
  When moving off on a slope, accelerate  
gradually while releasing the 
handbrake.  
  Switching to sequential mode 
 Once you have moved off, you can switch to  
sequential mode by selecting position   M . 
  
"AUTO"   disappears and the 
gears engaged appear in 
succession on the instrument 
panel display. 
 The gear change requests are only carried 
out if the engine speed permits it. 
 Take your foot off the accelerator pedal 
gently to engage the gear. 
 At low speeds, when approaching a stop 
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox 
changes down to first gear automatically.  
  Switching to automated mode 
 After using the sequential mode, you can  
return to the automated mode by selecting 
position   A .    
"AUTO"   and the gear engaged 
appear on the instrument panel 
display. 
 The gearbox then operates in 
auto-active mode, without any action on the 
part of the driver. 
 It continuously selects the gear most suited 
to the following parameters: 
   -   driving style,  
  -   road characteristics, 
  -   vehicle load.  
 To optimise driving comfort and obtain the  
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in 
the pressure on the accelerator pedal. 
 If you press the accelerator pedal beyond 
the point of resistance, the gearbox 
selects the gear below to permit sharper 
acceleration.  
  Stopping the vehicle 
 Before switching off the engine, you can:  
   -   move to position   N  to leave the gearbox 
in neutral. 
  -   leave a gear engaged, such as first or  reverse.  
 In both cases, it is imperative that you apply 
the handbrake to immobilise the vehicle.  
  Reinitialisation 
 Following disconnection of the battery, the  
gearbox must be reinitialised: 
   -   switch on the ignition,   "AUTO"  appears 
on the instrument panel display, 
  -   press the brake pedal,  
  -   wait approximately 30 seconds until   "N"  
or a gear appears on the instrument  
panel display, 
  -   release the brake pedal.   
 The gearbox is operational again.  
  Operating anomaly 
 With the ignition on, the flashing  
of   "AUTO"   and lighting of this 
warning light, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
on the instrument panel display, indicate a 
gearbox malfunction. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.    The brake pedal must be pressed while 
starting the engine. 
 Never select neutral   N  while the vehicle is 
moving. 
 Only engage reverse gear   R  with the vehicle 
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed. 
 In all cases, it is imperative that you apply 
the handbrake in order to immobilise the 
vehicle. 
 On a steep gradient, it is preferable to 
switch to sequential mode.

  Mobile telephone with hands-free function    
  Managing incoming calls 
 When an incoming call is received, the  
message "Phone" appears on the audio 
equipment display, if it is switched on. 
  Single call 
 To accept a call, press the green  
button.  
 To decline or end a call, press the  
red button. 
 To switch the call between the 
system and the mobile telephone 
(secret mode) and vice versa, press the 
green button.  
  Call waiting 
 To accept a second call, press the green  
button once. 
 To switch back to the first call, press the 
green button again. 
 To decline the second call, press the red 
button. 
 To end the call, press the red button again. 
  It is only possible for the system to manage  
the call waiting function if the function is 
activated on the mobile telephone.   
  Managing outgoing calls 
  Using the keypad 
 Dial the number of the person to be called  
on the mobile telephone keypad. 
 Press the "Pick up" button on the mobile 
telephone. 
 Depending on the model of mobile 
telephone, the call will be transferred to 
hands-free mode automatically, if it is not, 
press the green button. 
 To redial the last number dialled, press and 
hold the green button until the number has 
been redialled.  
  Using the voice commands 
 Press the green button.  
 Wait for the audible signal and/or the 
appearance of the message "Phone" on the 
audio equipment display. 
 Say the vocal identity of the person to be 
called. 
 The system repeats the vocal identity 
for confirmation and makes the call 
automatically. 
 If the vocal identity repeated by the system 
is not correct, press the red button to cancel 
and start the procedure again. 
 In order to use the voice commands,  
you must first record a vocal identity 
and associate it with the telephone number 
to be called; refer to your mobile telephone 
manual.   
  Clearing the system 
 To clear the contents of the system’s  
memory, press the green and red buttons 
simultaneously for more than two seconds. 
 This operation clears all of the matched 
mobile telephones and all of the telephone 
numbers recorded in the system’s memory. 
 For the next hands-free call you will have 
to repeat the first connection to the system 
(matching) procedure.  
  Good practice 
 You can match up to three mobile  
telephones with the system.   For safety reasons and because they 
require prolonged attention on the part 
of the driver, the operations for matching the 
mobile telephone and the Bluetooth ®
 hands-
free kit must be carried out with the vehicle 
stationary and the ignition on.

   Towing a trailer   
  In certain cases of particularly arduous  
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered.  If the coolant temperature 
warning light comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible. 
 See the "Levels" section of chapter 7. 
  
Tyres:   check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identification  
features" section of chapter 7) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressure.  
  
Brakes:   towing increases the braking 
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,  
change down early and brake gradually.    
Side wind:   sensitivity to side wind is 
increased. Drive smoothly and at a 
moderate speed.  
  
ABS:   the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer. 
  
Rear parking assistance:   the 
assistance will be deactivated 
automatically when an original  PEUGEOT   
towbar is used (see the "Rear parking 
assistance" section of chapter 4). 
 We recommend the use of original  
 PEUGEOT  towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle, and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a 
 PEUGEOT dealer . 
 If this equipment is not fitted by a  PEUGEOT 
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using 
the electrical pre-equipment located at the 
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the 
manufacturer ’s instructions. 
 The operation of the sensors is deactivated 
automatically when the pin of the trailer 
cable is inserted in the towbar socket. 
 When the trailer cable pin is removed, the 
sensors are re-activated.  
  
Distribution of loads   
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest objects are as close as possible 
to the axle and the nose weight is close to 
the maximum authorised without, however, 
exceeding it. The air density decreases with 
altitude, so reducing the performance of 
the engine. The maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres 
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data" 
chapter for details of the weights and 
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and 
also to the administrative documents (V5 
registration document, ...).
