cause permanent damage to the gear-
box (engaging 3
rd or 4 th gear by mis-
take). Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is stationary with the
engine at idle.

Moving off
 Apply the parking brake.
 Select position P or N .
 Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there is
an audible signal, accompanied by the
display of an warning message.
 With the engine running, press the brake pedal.
 Release the parking brake.
 Select position R , D or M .
 Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is selected inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then select
position D to accelerate.
If the ambient temperature is below
-23°C, the engine should be left at
idle for four minutes, to ensure the
correct operation and life of the en-
gine and gearbox. The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
Automatic operation
 Select position
D for automatic
changing of the four gears.
 appears in the instrument
panel.
Snow programme "  "
 Press button "
 ", after starting the
engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-
pery roads.
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor. S appears in the instrument
panel.
Sport programme "S"
 Press button
"S" , after starting the
engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary.
When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if posi-
tion
R , D or M is selected, the vehicle
moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake and select position P .
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.
Return to automatic operation
 At any time, press the button select-
ed again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the gear lever, press the accel-
erator 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 effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
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 movement of the gear lever from the P posi-
tion to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N position and
apply the parking brake.
Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential
changing of the four gears.
 Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
 Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual 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 mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the lever is not in position
P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, a warning
message appears in the screen.
 Return the lever to position P ;
the message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions). When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box fault.
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 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), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible.
When driving on fl ooded roads or
when crossing a ford, proceed at
walking pace.

Deactivation / Activation of the rear
parking sensors Operating fault
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the audible signals of the
parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear is
engaged this warning lamp is dis-
played in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen, accom-
panied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The status of the function is stored
when the ignition is switched off.
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT). The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.

Coolant level Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up the
level.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid
The minimum level of this fl uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
* According to country.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
To ensure optimum cleaning and avoid
freezing, plain water should not be used
to top up or replace this fl uid.
Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for details of the interval for this
operation.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components as specifi ed in the warranty
and maintenance record for your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Battery
The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Battery" section for details
of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the replacement intervals
for these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Illumination of the service warning lamp togeth-
er with a related message indicates the start of
saturation of the particle emissions fi lter.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and main-
tenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
As soon as the driving conditions
permit, regenerate the fi lter by driv-
ing at a speed of at least 35 mph
(60 km/h) until the service warning
lamp goes off.
Maintenance of the particle emis-
sion fi lter must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on
the environment.
