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. 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 automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
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
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 gearbox 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 Pto 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 qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual 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 moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
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 position to another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the N position and apply the parking brake.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver'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.

Driving
Stop & Start 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. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- for Diesel engines : ● with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you place the gear lever into neutral, and you release the clutch pedal, ● with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever
into position N , - for petrol engines , with the vehicle stationary. Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine start using the key, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
A time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Driving
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox , when you depress the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox : ● gear lever in position A or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever into position A or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear.
For reasons of safety and for your comfort, START mode is invoked automatically when:
Special cases: START invoked automatically
- you open the driver's door, - you unfasten the driver's seat belt, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed for control of a system.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message in the screen.
Deactivation
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

98
Driving
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off, accompanied by a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a 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.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This function is only active when: - the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, - when certain conditions of gradient are met, - with the driver’s door closed. The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated.
On an ascending slope, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal: - if you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox * , - if you are in position A or M with an electronic gearbox, - if you are in position D or M with an automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist phase. If you need to leave the vehicle while the engine is running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, these warning lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. * Depending on version.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
The Park Assist system cannot in any circumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with the correct operation of the parking assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
For entry into a parking space (parallel parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle. This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically during manoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, without affecting the manoeuvre.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
The system provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.

Driving
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by road dirt, ice or snow. In the event of a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space. Anything projecting beyond the envelope of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically: - on switching off the ignition, - if the engine stalls, - if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the type of manoeuvre, - after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre, - if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered, - if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit, - when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel, - if the driver presses the Park Assist control, - if correct positioning of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed to insert or extract the vehicle), - if the driver's door is open, - if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically: - when towing a trailer, - if the driver's door is opened, - if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph (70 km/h). To switch the system of for a prolonged period, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a few seconds. If the problem occurs while using the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
