It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.M and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
flashes
for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position
d
(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two positions).
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to
place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle. 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,
there is an audible signal accompanied by a message.
F
Return the selector to position
P
; the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.
OPERATING F AULT
When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R
and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have
it
checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same
time,
-
if you force the selector from position P
to another position
when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), place the gear selector in
position N
and apply the parking brake.

RCZ_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2015
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most
appropriate gear.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according
to the driving conditions (slope, load,...) and the demands of the
driver (power, acceleration, braking,...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging
first gear,
-
engaging reverse gear
.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
OPERATION
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one (or more) gear(s).
You can follow
this instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered
compulsory.
In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
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 function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual mode. On
vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended. Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear
.
* Depending on engine.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safet\
y
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
STEERING MOUNTE d CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.
1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.
2.
Speed programming / value decrease button.
3.
Speed programming / value increase button.
4.
Cruise control of
f / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
The cruise control is
switched on
manually:
it
requires
a
minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:
-
of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
-
of
second
gear
on
the
automatic
gearbox,
in
sequential
driving
mode,
-
of position
d
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to
conserve
a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as
the audio and telematics system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
thirty minutes.
GOING INT O T O ECONOMY MO d E
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears in the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has gone into economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.This period may be reduced considerably if the battery is not fully
charged.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it will be maintained
for 5 minutes with the hands-free kit of your P
EUGEOT
Connect
Sound (RD5) or P
EUGEOT
Connect Navigation (R
T6).
COMING OUT OF ECONOMY MO d E
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is
started.
To resume the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for at least 5 minutes.
A
flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the "12 V
battery" section).
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the
level of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning, the heated \
rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit. Observe this minimum period of engine running to maintain the correct
level of charge in the battery.
Do not repeatedly restart of the engine to restore immediate use of
systems.

"Streaming" is not desired.
The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compa\
tibility of the Bluetooth telephone used. Check the telephone
manual and with your network provider for details of the services availa\
ble to you.
Depending on the type of telephone, the system will ask you to
accept or not the transfer of your contacts.
On return to the vehicle, the last telephone connected
automatically reconnects, within around 30 seconds after
switching on the ignition (Bluetooth activated and visible).
To modify the automatic connection mode, remove the pairing
and pair the telephone again with the desired mode.
Enter
a minimum 4 figure code in the telephone
and
confirm.
Enter the same code in the system,
select "OK" and confirm.
Select the name of the desired
peripheral from the list of devices
detected
then confirm.
