Exceeding the programmed
speed
Return to normal driving
Operating fault
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance . The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which is still displayed, flashes. Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the DSC/ASR systems for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal. The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or Don an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

Operating fault
When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
Return to normal driving Exceeding the programmed
speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen. Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Gear shift indicator *
Operation
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 form of an arrow in the instrument panel screen. Depending on your vehicle's equipment, this arrow may be accompanied by the recommended gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear to use.
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 instruction without engaging the intermediate gears. The gear recommended should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic 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.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on the accelerator pedal, for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend a gear change. The system never suggests: - engaging first gear, - engaging reverse gear, - engaging a lower gear.

appears in the instrument panel.
Snow programme " "
Press button " ", after starting the engine. The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Sport programme "S"
Press button "S" , after starting the engine. The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
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.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
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.
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 M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.

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 qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver'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 message disappears.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted 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 ignition is switched on 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 fastened, - 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 passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts with an electronic gearbox :
- gear lever in position A or M , release the brake pedal, - or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, move the gear lever to position A or M , - or engage reverse gear.
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message in the screen.
START mode is invoked automatically when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph(11 km/h) with the electronic gearbox system, - the electric parking brake is being applied, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed for control of a system.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
