The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the DSC/ASR systems for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

Driving
The gearbox is then operating in auto-active mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear in relation to the following parameters: - style of driving, - profile of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear in the instrument panel screen.
Automatic mode "Auto sequential mode"
Following use of the sequential mode, select position A to return to the automatic mode.
For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
Sport setting
Following selection of the sequential mode or automatic mode, press button S to activate the Sport setting which offers you a more dynamic style of driving.
S appears next to the gear engaged in the instrument panel screen.
Press button S again to return to normal settings. S is then cleared from the instrument panel screen.
The gearbox returns to normal mode automatically each time the ignition is switched off.
This mode enables you to overtake, for example, remaining in automatic mode while using the functions of the sequential mode. Operate the + or - steering mounted paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed in the instrument panel. After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.

Stopping the vehicle Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning lamp comes on and AUTO flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can choose to: - move to position N to engage neutral, - leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, it is essential to place the gear lever in neutral N . Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
It is essential to press the brake pedal when starting the engine. When parking, is it essential to apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
182Driving
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, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
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 malfunction. 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. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
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, there is an audible signal and a message appears. Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.

Driving
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:
- with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the 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.
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 electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - 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.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking maoeuvres, 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...

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and 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 the instrument panel warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and observe the polarity.
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.

Operation
You have identified a parking space: Press button A to activate the function. Activate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured. During the measuring, go for ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 12 mph (approximately 20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre. The system then measures the size of the space. The system informs you of the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre via a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The function displays the following types of message:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
The function deactivates itself automatically: - when you engage reverse gear, - when you switch off the ignition, - five minutes after activation of the function or after the last measurement operation, - if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approximately 70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is too great, the system may not operate.
- The function remains available after each measurement and so can measure a number of places su c c e s s i ve l y. - In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by dirt, or by ice or snow. - The parking space sensor function deactivates the front parking sensors during the space measuring phase when you are in forward gear. If there is a malfunction, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
A = MA X
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
B = MIN
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely. - Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth. - Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
