Safety
5Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce 
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers  enhanced safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on towing 
a trailer are observed. It should not 
encourage the driver to take risks, such as 
towing a trailer in adverse operating 
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the 
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive 
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which  improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use). When combined with all-season M+S (Mud and 
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise 
between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the 
power of the engine. Operation at high engine 
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the  conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows  considerable spin on the wheel with the 
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two  driving wheels at the same time to allow 
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
  km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.

Driving
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain circumstances, you may have 
to turn the steering wheel firmly to move 
the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, 
for example).
►
 
T
urn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to 
activate the engine pre-heating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in 
the instrument panel, then turn the key to 
position  3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, 
to operate the starter motor until the engine 
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the 
key.
The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, the following 
recommendations should be followed:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
Depending on version, if the air 
conditioning is activated and the exterior 
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’
s 
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, 
depending on the cooling requirements.
–
 
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning 
lamp will stay on for a longer period after 
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off 
before starting.
– In  very severe wintry 
conditions  (temperature below -23   °C), to 
ensure correct operation and durability of your 
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!
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
pre-heating the catalytic converter can 
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when 
stationary, with the engine running, for 
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle 
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away, 
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: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
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.

recommendations below:
– 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
Depending on version, if the air 
conditioning is activated and when the 
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle 
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300 
rpm depending on the air conditioning 
requirements.
–
 
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 durability of 
the mechanical components of the vehicle, 
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!
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations for 
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with 
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
For Diesel vehicles, when the 
temperature is below zero, 
starting will only occur once the preheating 
warning lamp is off.

message "Parking brake control faulty" will be 
displayed in the instrument panel.
 
 
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction, 
signalled by the illumination of one or both 
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then 
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the 
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" 
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is 
immobilised.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary 
(for approximately 2   seconds) when making a hill 
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
–
 
the vehicle is completely stationary
 , with your 
foot on the brake pedal,
–

select position P.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to 
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position  D  for automatic 
changing of the gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 
mode, without any intervention on the part of the 
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable 
gear according to the driving style, the road 
profile and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without 
touching the selector, press the 
accelerator fully down (kick-down). The gearbox 
changes down automatically or holds the gear 
selected until the maximum engine speed is 
reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide effective engine braking.
If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the 
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety 
reasons.
Never select position  N while the vehicle 
is moving.
Never select positions  P or R unless the 
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control 
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear 
changing using the " +" et "-” steering-mounted 
controls. The gear change request will be 
executed if the engine speed permits. 
This function allows you to anticipate certain 
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or 
approaching a bend in the road. 
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control 
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic 
operation.
Creeping (moving without 
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the 
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic 
jams, etc.).
When the engine is at idle, with the parking 
brake released and gear position  D, M or R 
selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward 
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal 
(even without pressing the accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the  vehicle with the engine running and the 
doors closed.

It is only possible to change from one 
gear to another if the vehicle speed and 
engine speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, 
the selected gear flashes for a few 
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is 
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very 
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending  a steep incline, use engine braking to 
reduce your speed (change down or select a 
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed 
continuously for long periods can overheat 
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the 
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow 
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration 
(e.g. mountainous road), manual 
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be 
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual 
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not  engaged correctly (gear selector between 
two positions).
►
 
Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position 
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the 
vehicle.
A point of resistance may be noticed  when moving to position  P.
If the selector is not in position P when the 
driver's door is opened or approximately 
45
 
seconds after the ignition is switched off, 
an audible signal sounds and a message 
appears.
►
 
Return the gear selector to position  P
; 
the audible signal stops and the message 
disappears.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, 
press the brake pedal, select position 
P, apply the parking brake then release the 
brake pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the 
selector is in position  P before leaving 
your vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears 
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a 
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up 
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a 
substantial knock when changing from  P to R    
Page 104 of 260

Driving
and from N to R. This will not cause any damage 
to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:–  if you press the accelerator and 
brake pedals at the same time (braking or 
acceleration must be done only with the right 
foot),
–
 
if you force the selector from position  P
 to 
another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when  stationary for long periods with the 
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position the 
selector on N and apply the parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, 
do not try to start the engine by pushing 
the vehicle.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by 
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to 
skip one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be 
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout, 
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding 
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver 
therefore remains responsible for deciding 
whether or not to follow the indications issued by 
the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument  panel, in the form of an ascending or 
descending arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift  recommendation according to the driving 
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s 
requirements (power, acceleration, braking, 
etc.).
The system never suggests:
–
 
engaging first gear;
–
 
engaging reverse.
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.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid 
any risk of injury caused by the engine 
restarting automatically.
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.
