OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR
GEARBOX

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sun roof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic digital regulation, as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger
compartment or moves inside the vehicle.

DRIVING

AUTOMATIC OPERATION



)
Select position D
for automatic
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N
while the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the vehicle is completely
stationary. The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any
intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving, the profi le of the road and
the load in the vehicle.

D
and the gears selected automatically appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
For maximum acceleration without touching the lever, press the
accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide
effi cient engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for safety reasons.

SPORT AND SNOW PROGRAMMES

These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in
very specifi c conditions of use.


Sport programme "S"



)
Press button "S"
, after starting the engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.

S
appears in the instrument panel.


Snow programme " 7
"



)
Press button " 7
", after starting the engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads.
This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.

7
appears in the instrument panel.



RETURN TO AUTOMATIC OPERATION



)
At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme
engaged and return to auto-adaptive 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.

132
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
fl ashes 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 lever 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 is heard accompanied by a message.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.



OPERATING FAULT

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 qualifi ed 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 lever from position P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N
and apply the parking brake.

CHECKS
CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

BATTERY


AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER


OIL FILTER









PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)


On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle fi lter regeneration operations
may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical
information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.

Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
