Manual operation
)Select position M for sequentialchanging
o
f the four gears.)Push the lever towards the + sign tochange up a gear. )Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.

Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position Por N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, thelighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox fault.
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 Pto Rand from N to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
I
f the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or movingvery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


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

- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the Pposition toanother position when the battery isflat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parkingbrake.

If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, a warning message appears in the screen.)Return the lever to position P; the
message disappears.

Driving











Stop & Start The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal.
-with a 5-speed electronic gearbox , at
speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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...

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 usingthe key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
A tim
e 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.
The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Safety
Mud mode
Mode which, when moving off allowsconsiderable spin on the wheel with the leastgrip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the mostgrip is controlled in such a way as to pass as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as
fullyas possible.
) Place the dial in this position.



Sand mode
Mode which allows little spin on the two drivingwheels at the same time to allow the vehicle tomove for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
)Place the dial in this position.
D
o not use the other modes on sand as thevehicle may become stuck.


DSC OFF mode
)
Place the dial in this position.
This mode is active up to 30 mph
(50 km/h).

Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrainoccasionally.
However, it does not permit all-terrain activities such as:


- crossing and driving on terrainwhich could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due toobstacles or stones in particular,

- driving on terrain with steepgradients and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.

Checks
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel. There remainsapproximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
When the warning lamp flashes there is very little fuel remaining in the tank.
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Removing the filler cap may cause an inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly normal and results from the sealing of
the system.



























Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.

A self-adhesive label on the inner face of thefiller flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.


Filling


To fill the tank safely: )the engine must be switched off,)open the fuel filler flap by pressing at
its rear, )inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
)remove the cap and hook it onto the cliplocated on the inside of the flap, )fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could causemalfunctions. You must re
fuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
"Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.

Checks
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the engine of your vehicle, you musthave the fuel tank drained and filledwith the correct fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of animpact. When
you have filled the tank:)put the cap back in place,)turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap, )close the flap.

Checks
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remainsclosed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.

















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) * Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
* Accordin
g to country of sale.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour slowly.



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles maybe different in other countries, thepresence of the misfuel preventiondevice may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, werecommend that you check with thePEUGEOT dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
