Moving off
- It is essential to press
the brake pedal to exit
position P
,
- select position R
or D
,
You can also move off from position N
.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
- With your foot
on the brake,
release the
handbrake,
- select position R
, D
or M
,
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road profi le,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part. For immediate maximum
acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator
pedal down as far as it will go to the
end of its travel passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain
the gear selected until maximum
engine speed is reached. With the engine running, to move off
from position P
.
Automatic mode
On a descent, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order to
provide effi cient engine braking and
good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D
(drive), a vibration limiting
device is activated by pressing the
brake pedal.
- Select position D

Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P
, it will be impossible
to change to another position.
- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or to start the engine
,
with the handbrake on

is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D
to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M
, In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit. If they do not, the vehicle will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.

Good practice
Never select position N
when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position in
the event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R
, D
or M
is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running
.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button 7 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button 7 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the adjustment
mechanism by pushing the lever fully
upwards.
MANUAL GEARBOX
5-speed gearbox
6-speed gearbox
To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.
Reverse gear (6-speed)
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

Driving safely
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving, and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction (speed greater
than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or
puncture.
An outline representing one or more
wheels fl ashing indicates the location
of the wheel or wheels concerned.
Flat tyre
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "Tyre(s)
defl ated"
, an outline on the display,
and an audible signal.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible. If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored in the boot, it will again emit
this message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "X tyre
pressure sensor(s) missing"
, an
outline on the display and an audible
signal.
Under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty
sensor(s). This message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when a wheel without a sensor is
fi tted.
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains at
its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high
speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.
Puncture
The STOP warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message
"Punctured tyre(s)"
, an outline on the
display and an audible signal.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
fi rst for further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.
In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
speed to be signifi cantly increased
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.
Lighting
Bicycle carrier
Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with fi tting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle's electronic system.
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display's
confi guration menu.
