After a few moments without any action
on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
On sharp acceleration, the
gearbox will not change up
unless the driver acts on the
gear selector or the steering mount-
ed paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the ve-
hicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
when
the vehicle is immobilised with the
brake pedal pressed.
For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking an-
other vehicle, press the accel-
erator pedal fi rmly past the point of
resistance.

Stopping the vehicle
It is essential to press the
brake pedal when starting the
hybrid system.
When parking, is it essential to
apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When immobilising the ve-
hicle, with the hybrid system
active, it is essential to place
the gear selector in neutral N
.
Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N
, the
parking brake is applied, the ignition
is off and the Ready
lamp is off.
Before switching off the hybrid system,
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 ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Move off and drive, without accelerating
- put the gear lever in position N
so as
to be in neutral,
- press the brake pedal,
- place the selector in position A
, R
or
M
and release the brake. the vehicle
moves off and runs at about 6 mph
(10 km/h) without accelerating.
This function does not operate
on slopes greater than about
5 %.
It is deactivated if the driver's door
is opened To reactivate it, close the
door and then press the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal.

Close the bonnet.
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-

On vehicle fi tted with HDi engines, the
fuel system must be primed if you run
out of fuel; refer to the corresponding
engine compartment view.
If the engine does not start fi rst
time, don't keep trying. Start
the procedure again from the
beginning.
If the tank on your vehicle is fi tted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the

CHECKING LEVELS
Oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine has been
off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan
could start at any time (even with the
ignition off).
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the engine.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the servicing booklet and the
requirements of the warranty. Top them
up if necessary, unless otherwise indi-
cated.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.

Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harm-
ful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl u-
ids into sewers or onto the
ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste
disposal site.
Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.
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.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid 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.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.
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 pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
