Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a
break-in.
In the event of a
fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message in the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
Manual parking brake
Application
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your
vehicle.
Release on level ground
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up gently, press the

message,
indicates that the parking brake is still
applied or has not been fully released.
When parking on a slope, or on a steep
s lope with a laden vehicle, turn the wheels
against the kerb then apply the parking
brake. Pressing the brake pedal facilitates the
application and release of the manual
parking brake.
With a
manual gearbox, engage a gear
then switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position P then switch off the

failure of the main ser vice
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc.), a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a
gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake indicator lamp lights up fixed in the
instrument panel.
Malfunction
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. Uphill

is held for a
short time when you release the
brake pedal.

Eight speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
-

a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
In automatic mode, you can still change gear
manually using the steering mounted control
paddles, when overtaking, for example.

vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the " +" and " -" steering mounted
control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a
bend in the road.
After a
few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
If position R
, D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children in the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a

safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a

short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P . The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully (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.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if
you release the accelerator sharply.
Creep function (moving
without using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
As a
safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.

the vehicle.A point of resistance may be noticed when
moving to position P .

The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, it is not necessary
to release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
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 activated
is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear
M1


automatically.
To save the brakes when descending
a

steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down to
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 is
preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.
