Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
 Press this "AUTO" button. The indicator lamp comes on.
We recommend that you use this mode. It automatically adjusts all settings to provide optimum operation for the comfort level chosen: passenger compartment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation. This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, side windows and footwells o n l y.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left (blue) or to the right (red) respectively to decrease or increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal. It is recommended that the difference between left and right should not be greater 3.

 Select: - immediate to start the heating or ventilation (once confirmed "OK"), - the first clock to programme/store your departure time, - the second clock to programme/store a second departure time. Depending on the departure time chosen, the system calculates automatically the optimum time to start operating.
The immediate or programmed activation of Ventilation mode depends on the temperatures inside and outside the vehicle.
Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion. To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction. Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire. Using these two clocks and according to season you can, for example, select one or the other departure time. A message in the instrument panel screen confirms your choice.
Only one programmed or immediate preheating/preventilation can be activated between two starts of the vehicle.
The heating and the ventilation in immediate or programmable mode is not activated when: - the fuel level is too low, - the battery is not sufficiently charged.
To programme the heating and the ventilation, it is necessary to first deactivate the alarm volumetric and tilt monitoring (see the "Alarm" section).

Driving
It is recommended that you do not apply the parking brake in very cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the automatic functions and release the parking brake manually.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on, not flashing.
The electric parking brake combines 2 operating modes: - Automatic Application/Release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (this mode is activated by default), - Manual Application/Release
Manual application of the parking brake is done by pulling control lever A. Manual release is done by pushing and releasing the control lever, while pressing the brake pedal. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pullcontrol lever A .
Manual application
Activation / deactivation is done via the menu in the instrument panel screen.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- lighting of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A ,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied, unless the gear lever is in position P (Park) in the case of an automatic gearbox.
Electric parking brake
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.

Driving
Gear shift indicator * System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes 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 engagement recommendations must 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.
* According to engine.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the performance 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 first gear, - engaging reverse gear, - engaging a lower gear.

Driving
Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears.  Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Push 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, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate 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. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
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. 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.
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.
