deterioration of the oil has reached
another threshold. To avoid the risk
of damage, have the oil changed
without waiting for this level.
The warning lamp flashing and,
if your vehicle has the function,
a message displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the
engine oil. Have the oil changed

MANUAL

To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

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.
GEARBOX AND STEERING WHEEL STEERING WHEEL REACH
ADJUSTMENT
With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Unlock the steering wheel adjustment by
pulling the lever towards you.
Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then
lock by lowering the lever fully.
As a safety precaution, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.

Reverse gear

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.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by an
audible exterior warning.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.

HILL START ASSIST

This function, linked with the ESP, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the following
conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start
Assist function is a driving comfort system. It
is not an automatic vehicle parking function
or an automatic parking brake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
before the vehicle starts to roll back and
without using the parking brake within which
to move off.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical release
of the brakes may be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.

Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confi rmed by a
message in the screen. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to
have the system checked. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode
- during stops in the traffic (red lights,
traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.
STOP & START
O
peration

Going into engine STOP mode


- The "S"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby. With the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the
clutch pedal.

Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.

Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the system is initialising,

- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the air conditioning is running,

- the heated rear screen is on,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- reverse gear is engaged, for a parking
manoeuvre,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.


The "S"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.

Starting and stopping

Going into engine START mode


- The "S"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the the
vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the system
stops the engine defi nitively. The engine can
then only be restarted using the key.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- the air conditioning is running,

- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.


In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
Good practice


With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of
the "S"
warning lamp and, depending on
equipment, a message is displayed.


This operation is perfectly normal.

With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

Deactivation

At any time, press the "S - OFF"
switch to
deactivate the system.
Illumination of the switch warning lamp,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, confirms the the
instruction has been registered.

If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

It is necessary to deactivate the Stop
& Start system if you want to allow
continuous operation of the air conditioning.
The switch warning lamp stays on.


Reactivation

Press the "S - OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; the switch
warning lamp going off and a message
in the instrument panel screen confirm
reactivation.


Operating fault

In the event of a fault with
the system, the Stop & Start
system is deactivated and the
service warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.
Maintenance


Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.

This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
Refer to part 8 in the "Battery" section.

The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
PEUGEOT dealers.

Improved comfort

SOUNDPROOFING

Your vehicle benefits from a suspension
which contributes to improving general
comfort.
These developments also contribute to
reducing noise disturbance.



IMPROVED COMFORT
TREATMENT OF THE BODYWORK
LEADING TO ACOUSTIC COMFORT
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack.
