Anti-theft protection
The keys contain an electronic chip which has a secret code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for star ting to be possible. This electronic engine immobiliser locks the engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents star ting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by a message in the instrument panel screen. In this case, your vehicle does not star t; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

Four driving modes are offered: - automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox, - spor t programme for a more dynamic style
of driving, - snow programme to improve driving when traction is poor, - manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.

6-speed electronic gear control gearbox
Six-speed electronic gear control gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing. There are two driving modes: - automatic mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox, - manual mode for sequential gear changing by the driver. In automatic mode, it remains possible to change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles when required, when over taking, for example.
R. Reverse  With your foot on the brake, lift the lever and push for wards. N. Neutral.  With your foot on the brake, select this position to star t. A. Automatic mode.  Move the lever backwards to select this mode. M. Manual mode with sequential gear changing.  Move the lever to the left to select this
mode, then use the steering mounted control paddles to change gear:

Manual gear changing
 When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode. - Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear. - Push the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot on brake warning lamp may flash in the instrument panel to prompt you to brake.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
A disappears and M appears with the gears engaged successively, in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out if the engine speed permits. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you to over take, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested ifthe engine speed permits. A is still displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as y ou want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduce s 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 the electronic gear control gearbox, at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the selector lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted 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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfor t, 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 for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not available
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 star t using the key, - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfor table temperature in the passenger compar tment, - 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 flashes for a few seconds then goes off. This operation is per fectly normal.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver. When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect unless it is pressed firmly, which allows you to temporarily exceed the programmed speed. To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched on manually: It requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual d offoperation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information on the head-up display, refer to the relevant page in this "Driving" section.
