Driving
For Diesel vehicles, when
the engine is cold starting
does not take place until the
pre-heater warning lamp has
gone off.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in
the instrument panel screen. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the " START/STOP
" button
to assist unlocking of the steering;
a message warns you when this is
needed.
The presence of the electronic key
in the defined zone is essential. For
reasons of safety, do not leave this area
when the engine is running.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
*
According to engine.
The symbol appears in the
instrument panel suggesting that you
change up.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear recommendations should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
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 function cannot be deactivated.

Stopping - Starting on a slope
It is essential to use the parking brake to
hold the vehicle on a slope and not the
accelerator pedal.
When starting on a slope, accelerate gradually
while releasing the parking brake.
Manual mode
)
Select position +/-
.
)
Use the steering mounted controls or the
gear lever to change gear.
The gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel screen.
The gear change instructions are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
You can change gear without taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
When decelerating, the gearbox changes down
automatically.
With the vehicle stationary, first gear is
engaged.
Automated mode
)
Select position D
.
"D"
appears in the instrument panel screen.
The gearbox operates in auto-active mode,
without any action on the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most suited to
the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the most
suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in the
pressure on the accelerator pedal.
For the best acceleration, when
overtaking another vehicle, for example,
press firmly on the accelerator going
beyond the point of resistance.

Manual gear changing
In the automated mode, you can take over
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged
appears.
To return to the automated mode, do one of the
following:
- press the back of the "+/OFF"
steering
mounted control 3
for approximately
2 seconds,
- move the gear lever quickly towards
position +/-
and then return it to position D
,
- stop the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Operating fault
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down"
or "Service required"
appears
in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a
gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry out the
following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe
place,
- place the lever in position P
and let the
engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to
cool.
If the message disappears for a long period,
you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or appears
frequently, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay. Before switching off the engine, you must place
the gear lever in position P
.
You must apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.
