Stopping the vehicle Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning lamp comes on and AUTO flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the gearbox. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before 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, it is essential that you apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, it is essential to 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.
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.

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.

Reactivation Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and observe the polarity.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and a message in the screen.
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation Operating fault
Reactivation
Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.

Parking space sensors
After measuring the parking space available between two vehicles or obstacles, this system gives you information on: - the possibility of fitting into a free space, depending on the dimensions of your vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring, - the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel
The parking space sensor function warning lamp can have three different states:
- off: the function is not selected, - on fixed: the function is selected but the conditions for measurement are not yet met (direction indicator not operating, speed too high) or the measurement phase has ended, - flashing: measurement is in progress or the message is being displayed.
You can activate the "parking space sensor" function by pressing button A. The fixed illumination of the warning lamp indicates that the function is selected.

This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
