A few definitions…

When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi ll-
ing with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed when it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).

This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel consumption.

Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.


Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip com-
puter zero reset (ignition on).

Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the navi-
gation system, if guidance is activated,
or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.








Stop & Start time counter

(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)

If your vehicle is fi tted with
Stop & Start, a time counter cal-
culates the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

COMFORT











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.

)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recir-
culation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This re-
sults in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambi-
ent temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and
so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also ad-
vised to have it checked regularly.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.

Demisting/defrosting

The control button is located
on the air conditioning system
control panel.








REAR SCREEN DEMIST/
DEFROST



)
Switch off the demist/de-
frost of the rear screen and
door mirrors as soon as it
is no longer necessary as
lower current consump-
tion results in reduced fuel
consumption.



Switching on

The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the door mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.



Switching off

The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demist/
defrost operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off.


5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).

Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air fl ow adjustment control 2

is in position " 0
".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you
can use recycling of the interior air for
a few moments. Then return to fresh air
intake. The marking on the control
panel indicates the position of
the controls to quickly demist
or defrost the windscreen and
side windows:


)
place the air intake control 4
in the
"Exterior air intake" position (indica-
tor lamp off),

)
place the air distribution dial 3
in the
"Windscreen position",

)
place the air fl ow dial 2
in position 5
(maximum),

)
place the temperature dial 1
in the
red position (hot).







With Stop & Start, when de-
misting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.

DRIVING







6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX

As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine: Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.

Engaging 5th or 6th gear



)
Move the lever fully to the right to
engage 5th or 6th gear.


* According to engine.












GEAR EFFICIENCY 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 driv-
ing 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 recommended should not
be considered compulsory. 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 responsi-
ble 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 engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow in 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.


Engaging reverse gear



)
Raise the ring under the knob and
move the gear lever to the left then
forwards.

DRIVING

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 in 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
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

You risk damaging the gear-
box:

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 in the instrument panel.

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 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 mov-
ing 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
high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), posi-
tion the gear lever at N
and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.

DRIVING











STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights,
traffi c jams, or other...). The engine re-
starts automatically - START mode - as
soon as you want to move off. The re-
start takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces 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 gearbox system
,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position N
.
If your vehicle is fi tted 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 igni-
tion is switched on with the key.
For your comfort, during park-
ing maoeuvres, STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds
after coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
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 fas-
tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied
or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
