reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
the lever should be moved slowly to reduce


the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr SHIFt IndIcAtor
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
the gear engagement recommendations


should not be considered to be compulsory.
this because the configuration of the


road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear.
therefore, the driver remains


responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
the system never recommends engaging


first gear or reverse, or changing down.

mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next
3 minutes, the


system stops the engine definitively.
the


engine can then only be restarted using
the
key

. Special cases: StArt invoked

automatically
the StARt mode is invoked automatically
when:
-
the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-
the air conditioning is running,
-
the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
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, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.Good practice
With a manual gearbox in StOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
this operation is perfectly normal.
With the vehicle in gear

restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
With the engine stopped in S
tOP
mode, if the driver unfasten's


their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.
there is


an audible signal, accompanied by flashing
of this indicator lamp and the display of a

43drIVInG rEcoMMEndAtIonS
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves


that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed

6 mph (10 km/h),
-
do not stop and do not switch off the


engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.

If your vehicle is fitted with an additional
air conditioning unit, located in the rear of
the vehicle: the distribution duct located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
the warm air dif

fused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
this is passenger compartment heating,
additional to the standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Additional heater or programmable
additional heating
this is an additional, programmable and
separate system which heats the Diesel
engine hot coolant loop to make starting

easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted to the vehicle.
the passenger compartment heating is


brought up to temperature more rapidly.
this system must be programmed to start up


before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.

temperature and the temperature inside the
vehicle.
It switches off automatically once the
heating system is started manually.
