The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control A .
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...).
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation is
performed using the con-
fi g u r a t i o n m e n u , r e f e r t o
the "Multifunction screens"
section.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, a beep is heard and a
message is displayed if the brake is not
applied.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

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 on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- of second gear on the electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gear-
box, in sequential driving mode,
- of position A on the electronic gear
control gearbox or D on the auto-
matic gearbox. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk
A .

The cruise control cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the
need to respect speed limits, nor
can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
The cruise control is
switched off man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP system
for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. This information also appears
in the head-up display.

6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
As a safety precaution and to
facilitate starting of the engine:
Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear
Raise the ring under the knob and
push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
* According to engine.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l g e a r b o x .
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
r y . I n f a c t , t h e c o n fi g u r a t i o n o f t h e r o a d ,
t h e a m o u n t o f t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n
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. Example:
- You are in third gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands
on the performance of the
e n g i n e ( fi r m p r e s s u r e o n t h e a c c e l e r a -
tor pedal, for example, when overta-
king...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you en- gage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow on the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal.

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, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up 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 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelera-tor and brake pedals at the
same time,
- if you force the lever from posi- tion P to another position when
t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t .
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
e n g i n e r u n n i n g ( t r a f fi c j a m . . . ) , p o s i -
tion the gear lever at N and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in posi-
tion P , when the driver's
door is opened or approxi-
mately 45 seconds after the ignition
is switched off, an audible signal is
heard and a message appears.
Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
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 au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
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.
If the engine speed is too low or too
h i g h , t h e g e a r s e l e c t e d fl a s h e s f o r a f e w
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.
