position M to change to manual mode. )
Operate the +or -steering mounted control paddles.


At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken intoaccount when the vehicle is immobilised(foot on the brake). A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.

On sharp acceleration in manual mode,the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or thesteering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicleis moving. Only engage reverse gear Rwhen thevehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed. A
disappears and the
gears engaged
appear successively in the instrument
panel screen.
The
gear change commands are only carried
out if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running. It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When brakin
g or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permitacceleration 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 controlpaddle.
The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. A

Driving
You must press the brake pedal when star ting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must manually apply the parking brake when parking, unless the parking brake isprogrammed in automatic mode.

When immobilising the vehicle, with the hybrid system active, you must place the gear lever in neutral N.Before carrying out any work in the engine compar tment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.



Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, theflashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message in the instrument panelscreen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Be
fore switching off the engine, you can
choose to:


- move to position N
to engage neutral,

- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases,
you should apply the parkingbrake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating fault
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the hybrid system active and the parking
brake released, if position A, M
or R
is selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you
take your foot off the brake pedal (even without any action on the accelerator).
Creep function (moving
without the accelerator
)

Never leave children unsuper vised in the vehicle with the hybrid system active. For

Activation/Deactivation
)
With the engine running, adjust the brightness of the information displayedusing buttons 3
:


- the "sun" to increase the brightness,

- the "moon" to decrease the brightness.



Brightness adjustment


We recommend that adjustments are made using these buttons only when the vehicle is stationary. When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the strip (or in itsrecess) so as to not impede deployment of the strip and its correct operation.


In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)the head-up display may not be legibleor may suffer temporary interference. Some sunglasses may hamper readingof the information.
To clean the strip, use a clean, softcloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent products as these could scratch the strip or damage the non-reflectivecoating.



Height adjustment
)With the engine running, adjust the display
to the desired height using buttons 4 :
- up to move the display up,

Visibility

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dippedheadlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid dischargingthe battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed byregulations, by illumination of the dippedbeam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps.

- for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.

This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicleconfiguration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lightingcontrol stalk.

unction that can be set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
LED lamps

They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the destination country, they are used for:


- daytime running lamps *
in day mode andsidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps),
or


- sidelamps in day and night mode.
Where LED lamps are fitted, the filament bulbs
for the da
ytime running lamps/sidelamps in the front lamp units are not used.

Safety
Electronic Stability Programme incorporatingthe following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or tractioncontrol,

- the d
ynamic stability control (DSC).






























Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake
force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required bythe driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Dynamic stability control(DSC)

Activation
This system is activated automatically eachtime the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of thiswarning lamp in the instrument panel.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the systemchecked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically eachtime the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).) Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to reactivate it manually.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button.
This warnin

is in position "O".
)
Uncoil the white pipe G
fully.)
Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.)
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
) Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket. ) Star t the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation tothe eyes. Keep it out of reach of children.

Avoid removing any foreign bodieswhich have penetrated into the tyre.


Do not star t the compressor before connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve: the sealant product would beexpelled through the pipe.
