Automatic gearbox
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation, enhanced by sport and snow programmes, or manual gear changing. Four driving modes are offered: - automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox, - sport programme for a more dynamic style of driving, - snow programme to improve driving when traction is poor, - manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.
Gear lever
1. "S" (spor t) programme switch.
2. " " (snow) programme switch.
Gear selection gate
P. Park. - Immobilisation of the vehicle, parking brake on or off. - Starting the engine. R. Reverse. - Reversing manoeuvres, vehicle stationary, engine at idle. N. Neutral. - Immobilisation of the vehicle, parking brake on. - Starting the engine. D. Automatic operation.
M.+ / - Manual operation Sequential changing of the six gears. Pull backwards to change up through the gears. or Push for wards to change down through the
gears.

Dynamic function
In sport mode (with an automatic gearbox), this function conditions: - the visual ambience, with specific back-lighting for the instrument panel, - the acoustic ambience of the engine, - power assistance for the steering, - acceleration, - the automatic gearbox, - information to the driver in the instrument panel on dynamic settings.
This function is only available when Park Assist is not selected and snow mode in the automatic gearbox is not selected. If Park Assist is switched on, this automatically deactivates the function.
Activation
Press the end of the wiper control stalk to display in the instrument panel the different information on dynamic settings.
The telemetry data (longitudinal and lateral acceleration, power produced, turbocharger pressure, ...) are given as an indication only.
Press nd hold the button until the back-lighting in the instrument panel changes. The LED in the button stays on.
Display
Press repeatedly to go from one screen to another.
If the LED flashes, activation is not possible (for example if Park Assist or snow mode is selected) and so the back-lighting returns to its normal mode. If the LED continues flashing for a long time, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary (depending on the engine), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the button.
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...
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when: - the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or d ow n), - 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 by the driver, - 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.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes of f. This operation is perfectly normal.
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.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
- With an automatic gearbox , vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N .
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Steering mounted controls
The information is grouped together in the instrument panel. 6. Speed limiter on / pause indication. 7. Speed limiter mode selection indication. 8. Speed value setting.
Speed limiter
Once the programmed speed limit is reached, additional pressure on the accelerator pedal has no effect.
The speed limiter 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.
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The controls are grouped together at the steering wheel. 1. Speed limiter mode selection wheel. 2. Value decrease button. 3. Value increase button. 4. Speed limiter on / pause button. 5. List of memorised speeds display button.
Displays in the instrument panel
The speed limiter is switched on manually: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h). The speed limiter is paused by operation of the control. The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly beyond the point of resistance. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle returns to the programmed speed limit.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
For more information on the list of memorised speeds, refer to the "Memorising speeds" section.
