GEARBOX


5-speed gearbox - reverse



To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, 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 5 th
gear.

Push the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th gear.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR


This system allows fuel consumption
to be reduced by suggesting when to
change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in Manual mode.
Depending on the driving conditions
and the equipment of your vehicle,
the system may recommend skipping
one or more gears. You can follow this
indication without going through the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations should not be
considered to be compulsory. This
because the confi guration of the road,
the traffi c 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.
This system cannot be deactivated.


Engaging reverse

To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then back.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

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
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector 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 electronic gearbox,
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.

rotation of the ring forwards).
Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B
forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The status
is confi rmed by the warning lamps in
the instrument panel.
They operate with the sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the automatic illumination
of headlamps switches off the rear
foglamps, but the front foglamps
remain on.

To switch off the front and rear
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 illumination of headlamps

In foggy weather or in snow,
the sunshine sensor may detect
suffi cient light. As a consequence,
the lighting will not come on
automatically. If necessary, you must
switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.

Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO
position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message in the
screen.

Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.

The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lighting
control stalk. The sidelamps
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
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 running lamps. 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.
Sidelamp operation is not affected by
Economy mode.

On starting the vehicle, in daylight the
LED daytime running lamps come on

Automatic operation
Refer to the "Screen menu map"
section of chapter 9.
Activate the function via the
vehicle confi guration menu.
Initial setting is position 0.

Cornering lighting


With dipped or main beam headlamps,
this function makes use of the beam
from a front foglamp to illuminate the
inside of a bend, when the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (approximately
40 km/h) (urban driving, winding road,
intersections, parking manouevres...).

Switching on
This function starts:


- when the corresponding direction
indicator is switched on,
or

- from a certain angle of rotation of
the steering wheel.


Switching off
The system does not operate:


- below a certain angle of rotation of
the steering wheel,

- above 25 mph (40 km/h),

- when reverse gear is engaged,


Programming
The system is activated or deactivated
in the vehicle confi guration menu.
The system is activated by default.


Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the
road, the headlamps must be adjusted
to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

ABS

Driving safely
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Seat belts

SEAT BELTS

Height adjustment

Squeeze the control on the upper
anchorage and slide the assembly
on the driver's seat side and on the
individual passenger's seat side.
The height of the seat belt for the
centre seat of the front bench cannot
be adjusted.


Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.


Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning lamp
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fi t loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.

Unfastening

Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if the driver has not fastened
their seat belt.


Good practice

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.

Airbags

92


Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment of the airbags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the
passenger's airbag is deactivated
if a child seat is installed facing
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.

identifi ed by a sticker on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, to hold the bonnet
open.
Before closing the bonnet, put the stay
back in its clip without using excessive
force.


On the outside

Raise the bonnet slightly by reaching
in a fl at hand, palm down, to make
access to the lever easier.
With this hand, push the safety catch
to the left. Raise the bonnet.


On the inside

Pull the lever below the dashboard
towards you. The bonnet is released.


To close

Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is secure.
Avoid opening the bonnet in strong
winds.

Levels

11 0


Cooling system

Only use the fl uid 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 fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 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. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed 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.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.


Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.



Waste products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site. The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
