Gearboxes and steering wheel

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.

Intake of exterior air


Recommended settings

For optimum operation of the manual system, the settings below are recommended: Th
e LED in the button is off. This
is the pre
ferred operating position.

Recirculation of interior air


The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditionin
g switched on
and settin
g of the force of blown air (from
1 to 4
), recirculation enables you to obtain
the re
quired ambient air comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should onl
y be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake o
f exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operatin
g mode is preferable.

Deactivation of manual height correction
Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the s
ystem
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.
Followin
g a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic hei
ght correction on unlocking or
on openin
g one of your vehicle's doors. With the vehicle stationar
y:


- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to manual height correction

According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual hei
ght
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, ...


Warning lamp Driving with the height o
f the rear platform:


- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,

- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control. R
efer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
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. Return to manual correction is confirmed b
y
the LED which goes off. Deactivation is con
firmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on

ELECTRIC WINDOWS



1.
Driver's electric window control

2.
Passenger electric window control Th
e electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated:


- approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off,

- after one of the front doors is opened, if
the ignition is off.


Reinitialisation

Following reconnection of the battery,
the safet
y anti-pinch function must be
reinitialised.
Lower the window full
y, then raise it, it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time
the control is
pressed. Repeat the operation
until the window is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at least one
second after the window closed position has
been reached.
The sa
fety anti-pinch does not operate
durin
g these operations.


Manual mode
Press or pull the control, without passing the
point of resistance. The window stops when
you release the control.


Automatic mode
Press or pull the control, beyond the point
o
f resistance. The window opens or closes
full
y when the control is released. Pressing
the control a
gain stops the movement of the
win
dow.
Safety anti-pinch
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety anti-
pinch
function, when the window rises and
meets an obstacle, it stops and partiall
y
lowers.
In the event of unwanted openin
g of the
w
indow on closing, press the control until
the window is fully open. Within the next
4 seconds,
pull the control until the window
is
fully closed.
The safet
y auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations.

Good practice

If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
th
e control concerned.
When the driver operates the passen
ger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventin
g correct closing of
th
e windows.
The driver must ensure that the passen
gers
use the electric windows correctly.
Be aware of children when operatin

This DSC mode is calibrated for
a low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the system
returns automatically to DSC mode.

This DSC OFF
mode
is only suitable for
specific conditions
encountered when
This snow
mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the two
front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best acceleration
possible for the grip available.

This off-road
mode (mud, wet
grass...) allows, when moving off,
considerable wheelspin on the
wheel with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip". At the
same time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's requirements
as fully as possible.
This sand
mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and
reduces the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE

You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Good Practice

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, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.
