HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle. When the vehicle is being
driven, illumination of
this warning light and
of the STOP warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction etdisplay, indicates that
the handbrake is still on or has not
been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the
button to release the handbrake.
The four or six speed automatic
gearbox offers a choice between
the comfort of integral automatic
operation , enhanced by a sport and
a snow programme, or manual gear
changing .
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle or
start the engine , with the handbrake
on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
N eutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
Note: if position N is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D to accelerate.
D rive: for driving in automatic
mode.
M anual: to select the gears.
S : sport programme.
: snow programme.
Gear selection gate
Move the lever in the gate to
select a position.
The indicator light for the selection is displayed on the instrument
panel display.
Starting the engine
with the handbrake applied,
select position P or N in the gate,
turn the ignition key to the

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P :
it is essential to press the brake
pedal,
release the handbrake,
select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N .
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position
R , D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard and a message
appears when the driver’s door is
opened or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off. Move
the lever to P . The audible signal
stops and the message disappears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, ap-
ply the handbrake and select
position
P . Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R unless the vehicle is
stationary.
Never change between positions
to optimise braking on a slippery
surface.
Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four or
six gears:
select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts the
gear in relation to the style of driving,
t h e r o a d p r o i l e a n d t h e v e h i c l e l o a d .
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go (kick down). The gearbox
will automatically change down or
maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order
t o p r o v i d e e f i c i e n t e n g i n e b r a k i n g .
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport programme
Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.
Press button once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.
Press button S or again to
switch off the programme you are
in.

DRIVING
This speed limiter, of the new
generation, has a display on the
instrument panel to indicate the
programmed speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle
speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed is
reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a programmed
speed of at least 18 mph (30 km/h); it
remains active regardless of any action
on the brake and clutch pedals.
The operating actions must be
carried out:
- when stationary, with the
engine running,
or
- with the vehicle moving. When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this
button is pressed again, the display
returns to the speed limiter function. Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without
activating the limiter.
Press buttons

decrease or increase by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or
increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or
increases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Selecting the function
Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT
position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates: Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button
4 once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it.

This cruise control, of the new
generation, is linked with the speed
limiter. It has a display on the
instrument panel to indicate the
memorised reference speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least fourth gear engaged for vehicles

recorders.
After a few seconds or when this
button is pressed again, the display
returns to the cruise control function. First activation/memorising a

been memorised. The display
indicates:
Note: It is possible to accelerate
and drive momentarily at a speed
greater than the memorised speed.

If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
P o w e r s t e e r i n g r e s e r v o i r
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
