Moving off
With the engine running, to move off from
position P .
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,
depress the accelerator pedal to the
extent of its travel, passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain the
gear selected until maximum engine speed
is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good pickup.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D (drive), a vibration limiting device
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
- Press the brake pedal to
come out of position P ,
- select position R or D ,
- gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
You can also move off from position N .
- With your foot on the brake, release
the parking brake,
- select position R , D or M ,
- Select position D . The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear taking account of the following:
- the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
Stopping the vehicle, starting the
engine
- Select position P to
immobilise the vehicle or
to start the engine , with the
parking brake on or off.
If the battery is flat and the gear lever
is in position P , it will be impossible to
change to another position.
- You can also select position N
to park or to start the
engine , with the parking
brake on.
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to return
to idle before engaging position D to restore
drive.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Key
Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.
Door or bonnet open warning lamp
If this warning lamp comes on, a
door or the bonnet is not closed
correctly, check it!
Diesel pre-heating warning lamp If the temperature is high
enough, this warning lamp comes
on for less than one second, you
can start without waiting.
Good practice when stopping
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return
to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.
Running and accessories position.

To unlock the steering, turn the steering
wheel gently while turning the key, without

The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.
Good practice when starting
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
To ensure the correct operation and long
life of your engine and gearbox, when the
ambient temperature is below -23°C, it is
necessary to leave the engine idling for
four minutes.
In cold weather, wait for the warning lamp
to go off, then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts.

AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP06_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition
key removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning lamp remains on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the PEUGEOT range.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
To ensure optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen. Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.

FUEL CUT-OFF
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The flashing of this warning lamp
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position),
- remove the key,
- put the key back in the ignition,
- switch on the ignition and start.
Quality of the fuel used for petrol
engines Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228
and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type). The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

ECONOMY MODE
After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lamps, audio equipment, etc.) can only
be used for a cumulative duration of thirty
minutes, to prevent discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning lamp flashes accompanied by a
message in the screen.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double the
time for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.
