Stopping the vehicle

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


Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lightingof 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 P
position to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (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.
-withanelectronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever inposition N
.


Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, 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 notavailable
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 star t using
the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table 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 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.
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectl
y normal.

Practical information














Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the ser vicing booklet.
Matt paint


We recommend the use of a high pressurejet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using
de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.
It must be clean and used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the
bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenanceproducts in the "TECHNATURE" range
recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo,
which are the only products to be used on the
bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to removeminor marks (for example: finger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel. There remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the
tank. When the warning lamp flashes,
there is very little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Removing the filler cap may cause aninrush 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 the
filler 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, )
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 switchoff the ignition with the key.
)
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
) fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the pump; this could cause malfunctions. 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.

192
Checks
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the engine of your vehicle, you must have 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 an
impact. 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.

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.

It remains possible to use a fuel can tofill 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 may be different in other countries, thepresence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, werecommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
