signal and a
message.

When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 6 litres

of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning
lamp will come on every time the ignition is
switched on, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated
with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

DRIVING
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


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-
ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,
the amount of traffi c and safety remain
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.

*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instru-
ment panel in the form of an arrow ac-
companied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the per-
formance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

comfort of automated operation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are offered:


- automated
mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
without any action on the part of the
driver,

automatically. To engage a gear again,
return the lever to position A
or M
.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.

Hill start assist

This function allows temporary immobi-
lisation of your vehicle.
It maintains the pressure of the brakes
briefl y, long enough for you to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It comes into operation if the vehicle is
immobilised by pressing the brake ped-
al and depending on the gradient:


- on an ascending gradient, with
the vehicle stationary, gear lever
in position A
or M
, the vehicle is
held briefl y when the brake pedal is
released,

- on a descending gradient, with the
vehicle stationary, gear lever in
position R
, the vehicle is held briefl y
when the brake pedal is released. The Sport function is deactivated

Creep function *

This function makes manoeuvring the
vehicle much easier at low speeds
(when parking, in traffi c jams…).
After fi rst placing the gear lever in posi-
tion A
, M
or R
, the vehicle starts moving
as soon as you take your foot off the
brake pedal.
When the engine is idling, brakes
released, if position A
, M

is
selected, the vehicle moves even if
you do not press the accelerator.
Never leave unsupervised children in
the vehicle with the engine running. Do not hold the vehicle using the
accelerator: use the foot brake or
the parking brake.
Never leave the vehicle during a
hill start assist phase.

PEF 112 hp Diesel engine.


Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can:


- move to position N
to select neutral,
or

- leave the gear engaged; in this case
the vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, it is essential that you ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

Operating fault

When immobilising the vehicle,
with the engine running, you must
place the gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N
and
that the parking brake is applied. With the ignition on, if this warn-
ing lamp comes on and AUTO

fl ashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, this indicates a malfunc-
tion of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
With the ignition on, if the warn-
ing lamp above and this warning
lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage in the screen, this indicates a mal-
function of the hill start assist system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
It is essential to press the brake
pedal when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
