Limit the causes of 
excess consumption
 
 
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bottom of 
the boot, as close as possible to the rear 
seats. 
  Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof 
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof 
box in preference. 
  Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
   
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres 
and refit your summer tyres.  
 
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance 
 
 
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when 
cold, referring to the label in the door 
aperture, driver's side. 
  Carry out this check in particular: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after a long period out of use.  
  Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres 
on any trailer or caravan.  
   
Have your vehicle serviced regularly 
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe 
the schedule of operations recommended 
by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after the 
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any 
overflow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the first 1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see 
the fuel consumption settle down to a 
consistent average.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
 
The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specific warning lamp in 
the instrument panel. 
  There is a risk of damage to the catalytic 
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.   EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system 
which complies with, among 
others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   
 
-   CO (carbon monoxide), 
   
-   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
   
-   NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.  
DETECTION 
 
Sensors continuously monitor the tyre 
pressures and trigger a warning in the event 
of under-inflation, a puncture or a fault with 
a sensor. 
  Any anomaly is indicated by visual and 
audible information and is accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
   
Deflated tyre 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  Following a warning, the under-inflation of 
the tyre will not necessarily be visible. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.  
 
 
Puncture 
 
The STOP warning lamp comes on. 
  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding 
any sudden movement of the steering wheel 
and the brakes. 
  Make a temporary repair to the tyre using the 
puncture repair kit or by fi tting the spare wheel. 
  Change the damaged wheel, and have the tyre 
pressures checked as soon as possible. 
   
Sensor(s) fault or not detected 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  When changing a wheel or in the event of a 
sensor fault, the tyre pressure is no longer 
monitored. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s).   Refer to the "Changing a wheel" 
section of chapter 7. 
  If the damaged wheel is replaced by one 
without a sensor (for example, the spare 
wheel), the message is maintained to 
indicate that the pressure of the wheel 
cannot be monitored, so providing a 
reminder that the damaged wheel with 
sensor must be repaired.

Gearboxes and steering wheel  
 
  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.  
  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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR 
 
 
This system allows fuel consumption to be 
reduced by suggesting when to change up. 
  With an electronic gearbox, the system is 
only active in Manual mode. 
  Depending on the driving conditions and the 
equipment of your vehicle, the system may 
recommend skipping one or more gears. 
You can follow this indication without going 
through the intermediate gears.    
Illumination of this symbol 
indicates that the driver can 
change up.    The gear engagement recommendations 
should not be considered to be compulsory. 
This because the configuration of the 
road, the traffic density and safety remain 
determining factors when choosing the 
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or not to 
follow the advice given by the system. 
  This system cannot be deactivated. 
  On vehicles with a manual gearbox, 
the arrow may be accompanied by the 
recommended gear. 
  The system adapts its gear change 
recommendations according to the driving 
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands 
from the driver (for power, acceleration, 
braking, ...).  
   
The system never recommends engaging 
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

Moving off 
 
With the engine running, to move off from 
position  P 
. 
  For immediate maximum acceleration 
without touching the gear lever, 
depress the accelerator pedal to the 
extent 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. 
  On a descent, the gearbox will automatically 
change down in order to provide efficient 
engine braking and good pickup. 
  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.      
-   gradually release the 
pressure on the brake pedal; 
the vehicle then moves off.  
     
 
-   Press the brake pedal to 
come out of position  P 
, 
   
-   select position  R 
 or  D 
, 
   
-   gradually release the 
pressure on the brake pedal; 
the vehicle then moves off.  
  You can also move off from position  N 
. 
   
 
-   With your foot on 
the brake, release 
the parking brake, 
   
-   select position  R 
,  D 
 or  M 
, 
   
 
 
-   Select position  D 
.    The gearbox always selects the most 
suitable gear taking account of the following: 
   
 
-   the style of driving, 
   
-   the road profile, 
   
-   the vehicle load.  
  The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on your 
part. 
   
Reverse gear 
 
 
 
-   Select position  R 
, with the 
vehicle stationary and the 
engine at idle.  
 
 
 
Stopping the vehicle, starting the 
engine 
   
 
-   Select position  P 
 to 
  immobilise the vehicle 
 or 
to  start the engine 
, with the 
parking brake on or off.  
  If the battery is flat and the gear lever 
is in position  P 
, it will be impossible to 
change to another position. 
   
 
-   You can also select position 
  N 
 to  park 
 or to  start the 
engine 
, with the parking 
brake on.  
  If position  N 
 is engaged inadvertently 
while driving, allow the engine to return 
to idle before engaging position  D 
 to restore 
drive.

Manual mode 
 
Manual sequential gear changing. 
   
 
-   Select gear lever position  M 
, 
   
-   push the gear lever towards the + sign 
to change up, from 1 through to 6, 
   
-   conversely, push the gear lever towards 
the - sign to change down.  
  You can change from position  D  
(automatic mode) to position  M  
(manual mode) at any time. 
  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. 
  When the vehicle is stationary or moving 
very slowly, the gearbox automatically 
selects first gear.  
 
 
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 gear 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 fault 
 
Any operating fault is indicated by an 
audible signal, accompanied by the 
message  "Automatic gear fault" 
 in the 
screen. 
  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 or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.

Deactivation of manual height correction 
Good practice 
 
When stationary and with the ignition key 
removed, excessive use of the system 
consumes battery power.    
Long term parking 
  Avoid parking for a long duration on ground 
which could present a potential obstacle as 
your vehicle could lower. 
  Following a long period out of use, the 
height of the platform may change due to the 
automatic height correction on unlocking or 
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.     With the vehicle stationary: 
   
 
-   press and hold, 
   
-   release the control.  
  Deactivation is confirmed by 
the LED which is on. It remains on for 
approximately 30 seconds.  
   
Return to manual height correction 
  You must deactivate the manual height 
correction in the following situations: 
   
 
-   when working underneath the vehicle, 
   
-   when changing a wheel, 
   
-   when the vehicle is being transported by 
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...  
 
   Driving with the height of the rear platform: 
   
 
-   too low, risks damaging the technical 
components underneath the vehicle, 
   
-   too high, risks unstable driving.  
  If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to 
switch it off: 
   
 
-   correct the position of the manual 
control which is still at the lower or 
upper limit, 
   
-   or drive slowly at above 6 mph 
(10 km/h), until height correction returns 
to automatic mode.     
Warning lamp 
  Refer to the "Instruments and controls" 
section of chapter 2.  
    With the vehicle stationary: 
   
 
-   press and hold, 
   
-   release the control.  
  Return to manual correction is 
confirmed by the LED which goes off. 
  According to the configuration, a beep may 
be heard during these operations.
