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.
When you take your foot off the accelerator 
pedal quickly, the gearbox does not change up, 
for your improved safety.Manual mode
Operation
Manual mode for sequential gear changing.
F  Move the gear lever to M .
F  Push the lever for ward to 
change  up.
F  Pull the lever back to change down.
Steering mounted paddles
F Press the back of the "+"  paddle to 
change  up.
F  Press the back of the "-"  paddle to change 
down.
The gear engaged is displayed in the screen.
The steering mounted paddles cannot be used 
to move to position N or R .
Invalid value
This symbol is displayed if a gear 
is not properly engaged (selector 
between two positions). When the engine is at idle, if position R
, 
D or M is selected with the brakes 
released, the vehicle moves on its own 
without pressing the accelerator.
Never leave children unsupervised 
inside the vehicle when the engine is 
running.
Apply the parking brake and select 
position P if carrying out a maintenance 
operation with the engine running.
Never select position N when the 
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the 
vehicle is at a complete stop.
You can change from A to M and M to A 
at any time. If position N is engaged by mistake 
when moving, take your foot off 
the accelerator pedal, then engage 
position
 D to accelerate.
When the ambient temperature is  
below -23°C, the engine should be 
left running at idle for four minutes 
after starting, to ensure the correct 
operation and durability of the engine 
and gearbox.

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.

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.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. 
During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic 
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as 
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it 
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this 
indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather 
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These 
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2 
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds 
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical 
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it 
by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents 
open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the 
temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window 
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as 
soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light 
does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your 
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices 
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the 
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

direction indicators, must be replaced 
with bulbs of identical specifications 
and colour.
When refitting, close the protective 
cover carefully to preserve the sealing 
of the headlamp.
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator 
warning lamp (right or left) indicates the 
failure of a bulb on that side.
