6Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
If the engine does not start immediately, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: risk of damaging the starter motor and 
the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting 
 
► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in 
the recognition zone.
► Press the " START/STOP" button. 
The steering column unlocks and the engine 
starts more or less instantly.
The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the 
recommendations below:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
to warm up while stationary
, but move off 
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
In wintry conditions, when the ignition is 
switched on, the duration of lighting of the 
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W
ait 
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–
  In  very severe wintry 
conditions
 
(temperature below -23°C), 
to ensure correct operation and preserve 
the lifespan of the vehicle's mechanical 
components, engine and gearbox,  leave the 
engine running for 4 minutes  before moving 
off.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
For Diesel vehicles, when the 
temperature is below zero, 
starting will only occur once the pre-heating 
warning lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on after pressing 
the "START/STOP" button, keep the brake 
or clutch pedal depressed until the warning 
lamp goes off, without pressing the "START/
STOP" button again, until the engine starts 
and is running. 
The "Keyless Entry and Starting" system  remote control must be within the 
recognition zone.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine 
running and with the remote control on your 
person.
If the remote control leaves the recognition 
zone, a message is displayed.

Driving
wheels be returned to the straight ahead 
position before switching off the engine.
►
 
Check that the parking brake is correctly 
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
Never switch off the ignition before the 
complete immobilisation of the vehicle. 
With the engine off, the braking and steering 
assistance systems are also turned off: risk of 
loss of control of the vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the  vehicle without taking the remote control 
with you, even for a short time.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key  or the remote control, which would weigh 
down on its blade in the ignition switch and 
could cause a malfunction.
Key left in the ignition
When opening the driver's door, an alert 
message is displayed, accompanied by 
an audible signal, to remind you that the key 
is still in the ignition switch at position  1 
(Stop).
If the key has been left in the ignition switch 
at position 2 (Ignition on) , the ignition will be 
switched off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key 
to position 1 (Stop), then back to position 2 
(Ignition on) .
With Keyless Entry and Starting
► Immobilise the vehicle.
►  With the remote control in the recognition 
zone, press the "
START/STOP" button.
The engine stops and the steering column locks.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the 
engine will not stop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals: –  only use mats which are suited to the 
fixings already present in the vehicle; these 
fixings must be used,
–
 
never place one mat on top of another
 .
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT 
may interfere with access to the pedals and 
hinder the operation of the cruise control / 
speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have two 
fixings located below the seat.

or when the driver's door is opened.
If the driver's door is opened while the 
required conditions for stopping are not 
satisfied, an audible signal is emitted, 
accompanied by the display of a warning 
message.
Special case with Keyless 
Entry and Starting
Switching on the ignition without 
starting the engine
With the "Keyless Entry and Starting" 
electronic key inside the vehicle, pressing 
the "START/STOP" button, without depressing 
any of the pedals , allows the ignition to be 
switched on.
►  Press this button again to switch off the 
ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.

selected when the ignition is switched off. The 
wheels are blocked.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer 
to the corresponding section.
With an automatic gearbox or drive 
selector, while mode  N is selected, 
opening the driver’s door triggers an audible 
signal. It stops when the driver's door closes 
again.
Deactivating automatic 
operation
In some situations, for example when it is 
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan, 
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate 
automatic operation of the system.
 
 
 
 
► Start the engine.
►  Use the control lever to apply the parking 
brake, if it is released.
►
 
T
 ake your foot fully off the brake pedal. ►
 
Hold the control lever pressed in the release 
direction for between 10 and a maximum of 15 
seconds.
►
  
Release the control lever
 .
►  
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►
  
Pull the control lever in the application 
direction for 2
   seconds.
This indicator lamp on the instrument 
panel comes on to confirm deactivation of 
the automatic functions.
►
 
Release the control lever and the brake 
pedal.
From now on, the parking brake can only be 
applied and released manually using the control 
lever
.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic 
operation (confirmed by the indicator lamp on the 
instrument panel going off).
Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide 
effective braking or in exceptional circumstances 
(e.g.
  driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle 
can be braked by sustained pulling on the 
electric parking brake control. Braking continues 
for as long as the control is kept pulled, and 
ceases when the control is released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle 
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message 
"Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the 
instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems 
malfunction, indicated by lighting 
one or both warning lamps on the instrument 
panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.
►
 
In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by 
successive and repeated "pull-release" actions 
on the electric parking brake control until the 
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Hill start assist
System which briefly keeps the vehicle stationary 
(for approximately 2   seconds) when making a hill 
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
–
 
The vehicle is completely stationary
 , with your 
foot on the brake pedal.
–
 
Certain slope conditions are met.
–
 
The driver
 ’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle 
with the engine running, apply the parking 
brake manually. Then check that the parking 
brake indicator lamp and the  P indicator lamp 
in the electric parking brake control lever are 
on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be  deactivated. However, using the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its 
operation.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox 
and you have to move off on a steep 
slope (uphill or downhill) with a loaded 
vehicle, press the brake pedal, select 
position  D, release the parking brake then 
release the brake pedal.
Operation 
 
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, 
the vehicle is held for a short time when the 
driver releases the brake pedal:
–  If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual 
gearbox.
–  If mode D or M is selected on an automatic 
gearbox.
–  If mode D or  B  is selected on the drive 
selector.

Driving
6When positioned on a steep slope with a 
loaded vehicle, depress the brake 
pedal, select position P, apply the parking 
brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with 
electric parking brake), then release the brake 
pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the 
selector is in position  P before leaving 
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears on 
the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the 
gearbox.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up 
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a 
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when 
changing from
 
P
 to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
  km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: –  If the accelerator and brake pedals are 
depressed simultaneously
.
–
 
In the event of a battery failure, forcing the 
selector from position  P
 to another position.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, 
do not try to start the engine by pushing 
the vehicle.
Drive selector (Electric) 
 
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a 
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control 
based on the driving style, the road profile and 
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also 
manages engine braking when the accelerator 
pedal is released.
P. Park
Button for parking the vehicle: the front 
wheels are locked (the button lights up to 
indicate that it is activated).
R. Reverse
To engage reverse gear, with your foot on the 
brake pedal. N.
Neutral
To move the vehicle with the ignition off and 
so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer 
to the corresponding section.
D. Drive (automatic forward gear)
B. Brake (regenerative braking)
Button for changing to Drive/automatic 
forward gear   mode with regenerative braking 
function (the button lights up to indicate that it 
is activated).
Information displayed on 
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive 
selector status is displayed on the instrument 
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
B : Brake (automatic forward gear with 
regenerative braking function activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards 
( N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice, 
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
For example, to change from
  P to   R (with your 
foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards   
Page 152 of 324

150
Driving
twice without passing the point of resistance or 
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when 
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking, 
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the 
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly 
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator 
pedal is released is then used to partially 
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing 
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come 
on.
►
 
From mode 
 D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when 
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with  B.
The system status is saved when the ignition is 
switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full, 
extreme temperatures), the amount of 
regenerative braking may be temporarily 
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic 
conditions and must always be ready to use 
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the 
intelligent braking system automatically recovers 
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the 
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the 
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different  sensation when depressing the brake 
pedal compared to a vehicle without 
regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following 
control:
 
 
 
 
Pressing the control displays the modes on the 
instrument panel and, depending on version, on 
the screen with PEUGEOT Connect Nav.
You cannot select a mode if the  READY lamp 
is off. When the message disappears, the selected 
mode is activated and remains indicated on the 
instrument panel (except 
Normal   mode).
Each time the ignition is switched on,  Normal 
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic 
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress 
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing 
the output of the heating and air conditioning 
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting 
both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when 
fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in 
Normal mode and when unladen.
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.
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.
Deactivation/Reactivation
With/without audio system
 
 
 
 
►  To deactivate or reactivate the system, press 
this button.
The indicator lamp is  on when the system is 
deactivated.

6Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an 
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  of this warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.
►
 
Reduce speed immediately
 , avoid excessive 
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
 
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not  always cause visible deformation of the 
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►
 
Using a compressor
 , such as the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the 
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►
 
If it is not possible to carry out this check 
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►
 
In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel 
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure 
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the 
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre 
blow-out. This is because analysis of the 
values read by the wheel's speed sensors 
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below 
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty 
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is  reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any 
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres, 
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make 
sure that the pressures of the four tyres 
are correct for the conditions of use of the 
vehicle and conform to the values written on 
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before 
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without audio system 
 
 
 
► With the vehicle stationary , press this 
button for about 3 seconds then release it. 
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.
With audio system or touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the 
system is reinitialised via the 
vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these 
warning lamps light up on the 
instrument panel.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring 
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

Driving
Driving and manoeuvring 
aids - General 
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in 
any circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway 
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in 
all circumstances and must be able to retake 
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt 
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and 
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly 
check the traffic, to assess the relative 
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to 
anticipate their movements before indicating 
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel 
with both hands, always use the interior and 
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the 
feet close to the pedals and take a break 
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with 
any associated functions, may be affected 
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
  mud, ice), 
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
  heavy rain, 
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar(s).
 
 
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions 
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen 
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, 
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or 
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, 
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, 
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light) can also impair 
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the camera; 
otherwise, the operation of the associated 
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) 
displayed on the touch screen or on the 
instrument panel may be distorted by the 
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they 
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as 
any associated functions, may be disrupted 
by noise pollution such as that emitted by 
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, 
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of 
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the 
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors 
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can 
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not 
always detected by the system: distance 
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect 
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) 
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind 
spots may not be detected or may no longer 
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound 
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and 
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure, 
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away 
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of 
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–  Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.
–  Never fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed 
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are 
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is 
stationary, set the display to the required

6This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of 
collision with the vehicle in front.
–
 
reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a 
collision or limit its severity
.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–
 
Distance Alert.
–
 
Intelligent emergency braking assistance 
(iEBA).
–
 
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 
braking).
 
 
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen and, depending on version, a 
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need  for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver 
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously 
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with 
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a  potential obstacle, it prepares the braking 
circuit in case automatic braking is needed. 
This may cause a slight noise and a slight 
sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and 
limits
Vehicle moving forward.
ESC system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.
In the following cases, deactivating the system 
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
–
 
T
 owing a trailer.
–
 
Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
–
 
V

–
 
Damaged front bumper
 .
–
 
Following 
 an impact to the windscreen close to 
the detection camera.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 
lamps are not in perfect working order.
It is possible that warnings are not given, 
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the 
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time 
to avoid an accident.
Following an impact, the system is 
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Distance Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle 
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or 
with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic 
lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity 
with which the function warns of the risk of 
collision.
The threshold is set via the vehicle  configuration menu with the audio 
system or touch screen.
►
 
Select one of the three pre-defined 
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when 
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert trigger   
Page 170 of 324

168
Driving
threshold chosen by the driver, several different 
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on 
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle 
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one 
in front, the environmental conditions and the 
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals, 
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the 
most relevant moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, 
warning that the vehicle in front is very 
close.
The message
  "Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, 
warning that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too 
high approaching another vehicle, the 
first level of alert may not be displayed: the 
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed 
when there is a stationary obstacle or 
when the "Near " trigger threshold has been 
selected.
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance (iEBA)
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid 
a collision, this system will provide additional 
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics. This assistance will only be provided if the driver 
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake 
 
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a 
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following 
conditions:
–
 
The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph 
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph 
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist 
is detected.
–
 
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 
53 mph (10
  km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with 
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions 
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle 
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for  approximately 10 seconds) as soon as 
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking bringing the 
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal 
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving 
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the  vehicle at any time by firmly turning the 
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the 
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly  while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 
seconds.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
It is set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on 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.
If these warning lamps come on after the 
engine has been switched off and then 
restarted, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps light up on  the instrument panel to indicate 
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat 
belt is not fastened (depending on version).
Lane departure warning 
system
