 MANUAL 
 
To change gear easily, always depress the 
clutch pedal fully. 
  To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedal: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat is positioned 
correctly,  
   
-   never fit one mat on top of another.  
 
  Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as 
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear 
the internal components of the gearbox over 
time.

ADJUSTMENT 
  With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your 
seat to the most suitable position. 
  Unlock the steering wheel adjustment by 
pulling the lever towards you. 
  Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then 
lock by lowering the lever fully. 
  As a safety precaution, these operations 
must not be carried out while driving. 
   
Reverse gear 
 
Raise the collar under the gear knob to 
engage reverse gear.   Never engage reverse gear before the 
vehicle is completely stationary. 
  The lever should be moved slowly to reduce 
the noise on engaging reverse gear. 
  Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by an 
audible exterior warning. 
  If your vehicle is fitted with parking 
sensors, the system comes into 
operation when reverse gear is engaged and 
an audible signal is heard. 
  Refer to the "Rear parking sensors" 
section of chapter 4.

Starting and stopping  
 
 
HILL START ASSIST
 
This function, linked with the ESP, makes hill 
starts easier and is activated in the following 
conditions: 
   
 
-   the vehicle must be stationary, engine 
running, foot on the brake, 
   
-   the gradient of the road must be steeper 
than 5 %, 
   
-   uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or 
in a gear other than reverse, 
   
-   downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.  
  The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start 
Assist function is a driving comfort system. It 
is not an automatic vehicle parking function 
or an automatic parking brake. Operation 
  With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release the brake 
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds 
before the vehicle starts to roll back and 
without using the parking brake within which 
to move off. 
  During the moving off phase, the function 
is deactivated automatically, gradually 
releasing the braking pressure. During 
this phase, the typical noise of mechanical 
release of the brakes can be heard, 
indicating the imminent movement of the 
vehicle. 
   
Operating fault 
 
If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on accompanied by an audible 
signal and confi rmed by a 
message on the screen. Contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer to have the system checked.     Hill start assist is deactivated in the following 
situations: 
   
 
-   when the clutch pedal is released, 
   
-   when the parking brake is applied, 
   
-   when the engine is switched off, 
   
-   when the engine stalls.
