Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles. If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
- check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
- deactivate the Stop & Start system,
- drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Advice
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without action by the driver. It
continuously selects the most suitable gear for
the driving style, the relief of the road and the
load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal fully
down (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear engaged up to
maximum engine speed.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.

Park Assist
For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect
spaces which are clearly much smaller
or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system
is activated automatically during
manoeuvres; it is therefore possible
that a symbol comes on in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
without affecting the manoeuvre.The selection of the type of manoeuvre
(entering or exiting a parallel parking
space) prevents a change to STOP
mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, this selection restarts
the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle ensuring that the space
remains clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots. During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags... There is a risk of
injury.
The driver can take back control of the steering
at any time.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
the correct operation of the parking
assistance system. The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.

In bad weather and in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered by
road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it manually to repeat the measurement. If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope
of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not
taken into account by the Park Assist
system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the
vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically:
-
on switching off the ignition,
- if the engine stalls,
- if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
- after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during
a manoeuvre,
- if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR)
is triggered,
- if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the
stated limit,
- when the driver interrupts movement of the
steering wheel,
- if the driver presses the Park Assist
control,
- if correct positioning of the vehicle is not
possible (too many manoeuvres needed to
insert or extract the vehicle),
- if the driver's door is open,
- if one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically:
- when towing a trailer,
- if the driver's door is opened,
- if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. This warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible
signal (short beep).
The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a
few seconds. If the problem occurs while using
the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps
indicate a fault with the power
steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Current information
Range
(miles or km)
The distance that can be
travelled using the remaining
fuel in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over
the last few miles).
Once the remaining range is below 20 miles

(30 km), dashes are displayed. After topping up with
at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and
displayed if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Star t time counter
(if function present)
(In minutes / seconds -
hours / minutes)
If your vehicle has Stop & Start,
a time counter records the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is reset to zero every time the ignition is
switched on using the key. This function is only displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value can vary following a change
in driving conditions or the relief of the
road, giving rise to a big difference in
current fuel consumption.
If dashes instead of figures continue
to be displayed when driving, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
