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.

Starting and stopping

6-speed electronic gearbox



- automatic mode: gear selector in
position A
.

- manual mode: gear selector in
position M
.


For safety:
It is only possible to come out
of position N
if the brake pedal is
pressed.
The change from position A
(driving in
automatic mode) to position M
(driving
in manual mode) or vice versa can be
made at any time. The warning lamp A

goes off in the instrument panel.


Mode selection


Illumination of this symbol
indicates that the driver can
change up.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
demands from the driver (for power,
acceleration, braking, ...).

The system never recommends
engaging fi rst gear or reverse, or
changing down.

engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N
.


Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N
.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.

Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N

(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. 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

needed.

- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.

- A gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.

- For safety reasons, depending on

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.

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
:


●
gear selector in position A
or
M
, when you release the brake
pedal,

●
or gear selector in position N
and
the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear selector 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,

- 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.

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.
