Parking brake
Application
► Apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
►

Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied before leaving the vehicle.
Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is stationary.
When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.
In the event of a failure of the
hydraulic braking system
While driving , to avoid any accidental
movement of the vehicle, use the parking
brake while depressing the brake pedal.
In this exceptional circumstance, it is
advisable to pull the parking brake up gently
so as not to block the rear wheels - risk of
skidding!
Release

► Pull the lever up gently and press the button
to release the parking brake.
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on indicates that
the parking brake is still applied or has not been
fully released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always fully depress the
clutch pedal.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under
the pedal:
–

ensure that the mat is positioned correctly
,
–

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear

► Lift the ring under the knob to engage reverse
gear .
Never engage it until the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
The movement must be done slowly to reduce
the noise when engaging reverse gear.
If fitted to the vehicle, the parking
sensors are activated when reverse gear
is engaged; an audible signal sounds.
For more information on the Parking
sensors, refer to the corresponding section.

Driving
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
To deactivate/reactivate the function:




► Press the button.
A message in the instrument panel confirms the
change of status.
When the function is deactivated, the indicator
lamp is lit; if the engine was in standby, it restarts
immediately.
To allow continuous operation of the air conditioning, deactivate the Stop & Start.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, place the gear lever
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into
standby.
Automatic engine shutdown is only possible when the speed of the vehicle
has exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated engine shutdowns when driving
slowly.
Never leave the vehicle without first
switching the ignition off with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not activated when:
– the system is initialising,
–

the driver's door is open,
–


the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
–


the air conditioning is on,
–


the rear screen demisting is on,
–


the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–


the reverse gear is engaged for the parking
manoeuvre,
–


some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, particle filter regeneration,
braking assistance, exterior temperature, etc.)

77
Driving
6where the engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
–
during intensive use of Stop & Start, it may
be deactivated to conserve starting ability; go
to a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the function
reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument panel flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START
mode
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of
the engine is only possible by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine restarts.
If, after an automatic restart in START mode, the
driver does not perform any action on the vehicle
within 3 minutes, the system stops the engine
permanently. The engine can only be restarted
with the ignition key.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
The START mode may be invoked automatically
in the following circumstances:
–

the vehicle is free-wheeling on a gradient,
–


the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–


the air conditioning is on,
– the engine has been stopped for around 3
minutes with Stop & Start,
–

some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance, air
conditioning setting, etc.) where the engine is
needed for control of the system or vehicle.
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.
This operation is perfectly normal.
While in STOP mode with a manual
gearbox, 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.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfastens 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 message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the Stop &
Start is deactivated and this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.In the event of a malfunction
in STOP mode, the engine can be restarted by
fully
depressing the clutch pedal or putting the
gear lever in neutral.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC - Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
–

the vehicle must be stationary
, engine running,
foot on the brake,
–

the gradient of the road must be steeper than
5%,
–


uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
–


downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.

78
Driving
Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase, you
may hear the typical mechanical brake release
noise, signalling the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking brake
indicator lamp is on. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
–

when the clutch pedal is released,
–

when the parking brake is applied,
–

when the engine is switched off,
–

if the engine stalls.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding,
–


lengthens braking distances,
–


causes premature wear of the tyres,
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressures should be checked when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings, including the tyre pressure label,
refer to the corresponding section.
The tyre pressure measurement unit can be configured via the MODE button: in the
"Tyre pressure" menu, select "psi/bar/kPa".
For more information on Vehicle configuration
(MODE), refer to the corresponding section.

stops and the indicator lamp goes out.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lane departure warning
system
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System which detects the involuntary crossing of
longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground
(solid or broken line).


A camera, fitted in the upper central part of the
windscreen, monitors the road and detects the
lane marking lines and the position of the vehicle
in relation to them.
With the speed of the vehicle above 37 mph (60
km/h), an alarm is triggered if there is a deviation
in direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
In case of windscreen damage, it is strongly
recommended to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
If the engine cover is to be removed /
refitted, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the mounting clips.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►

Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely

.
►

Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.


► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks A
(max)
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

above mark
A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
–

below mark B

: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine
and complies with the recommendations in
