The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any inter vention on the par t
of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
v
ehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient enginebraking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.

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 P
or Nto 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, amessage appears in the
instrument panel screen to indicate a gearboxfault.
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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the en
gine 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.
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 batteryis flat.If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, there is an audible signal and a message appears. )Return the lever to position P;the audible signal stops and themessage disappears.




To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), positionthe gear lever at Nand apply theparking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

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 restart 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 the electronic gearbox system, at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brakepedal or put the gear lever in position N.
I
f your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter 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 ke
y.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; 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...


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 electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- 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.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goesoff.
This operation is per fectly normal
.

122
Driving
The "ECO"warning lamp goes
off and the engine star ts with the electronic gearboxsystem:
- gear lever in position Aor M
, release the
brake pedal,
- or
gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, move the gear lever toposition A
or M,- or engage reverse gear.
START mode is invoked automaticall
y when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph(11 k m/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.


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO"warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restartsimmediately.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lampcoming on accompanied by a message in the screen.


Deactivation
This operation is per fectly normal.

Driving





Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) whenstarting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This system only operates when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, withyour foot on the brake pedal,
- in par ticular conditions on a slope,
- with th
e driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be deactivated.
On an ascendin
g slope, with the vehiclestationary, the vehicle is held for amomentarily when you release the brakepedal:


- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
on an electronic gear control gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M
on an
automatic gearbox.


Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held momentarily when yourelease the brake pedal.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is beingheld in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle withthe engine running, apply the parkingbrake manually then ensure that theparking brake warning lamp (and the warning lamp P
in the lever of theelectric parking brake) are on fixed (not flashing).



Operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the systemchecked.
