In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates electronic gearbox system
lever.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear lever to M
.
Automatic mode
Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear lever to A
.
The gearbox then functions in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- optimum fuel consumption.
Pull on the " +
" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " -
" control
paddle to change
down.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed
(for example when approaching a
stop sign), the gearbox changes
down automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.
- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
- A request to change gear is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,
- the parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- 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, the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Stop & Start
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp
goes off and the engine
starts:
- with a manual gearbox
, when you
depress the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system
:
●
gear lever in position A
or M
,
when you release the brake
pedal,
●
or gear lever in position N
and
the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear lever to
position A
or M
,
●
or when you engage reverse
gear.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with
the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system,
- the parking brake is being applied,
- 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 the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF"
switch to deactivate the
system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by a
message on the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel.
The system is reactivated
automatically at every new start
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes, then comes on
continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c
battery with a special specifi cation
and technology (reference numbers
available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.

HILL START ASSIST
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical release of the
brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
Operating fault
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,
- when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message
on the screen. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked. This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and 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 HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assist function is a driving comfort
system. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Automatic switching on of the lights
In foggy weather or in snow,
the brightness sensor can
detect suffi cient light. As a
consequence, the lights will not come
on automatically. If necessary, you
must switch on the dipped headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the brightness
sensor located on the windscreen,
behind the mirror. It is used for
the automatic switching on of the lights
and for the automatic wipers.

on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights. If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery (see "Battery"
in section 7). Electrical functions are
put on standby and the battery warning
lamp fl ashes.
