You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the
hybrid system active, you must place
the gear selector in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear selector is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the
flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the instrument panel
screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-

m

ove to position N to engage neutral,
-

l

eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it has
been programmed in automatic mode.
Operating fault
this function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, …).
With the hybrid system active and the parking
brake released, if position A , M or R is
selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you
take your foot off the brake pedal (even without
any action on the accelerator).
Creep function (moving
without the accelerator)
Never leave children unsupervised

active.
For your safety, this function will only be
activated if you press the brake pedal when
engaging forward drive or reverse.

Electronic gearbox
the gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the checking interval for this
component.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
Brake pads
Particle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this
warning lamp accompanied by
a message in the multifunction
screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration.
t
h
is does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
th

e 100% electric mode is not available
during regeneration of the particle filter. have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
un

less there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
