t

he gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption. "AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
t

he gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
t

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR*
* According to engine.
Operation
the system intervenes only when driving
economically .
t

he gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear.
t

herefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
t

his system cannot be deactivated.
e
xample:
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most suitable gear.
Display in the level 2 instrument panelIn 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.
t

he system will never suggest:
-

engaging first gear
,
-

engaging reverse.
-


Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- t he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
t
he information appears in the form of the
word SHIFT in the instrument panel screen,

Starting the engine
Engine immobiliser warning lamp
If this warning lamp comes
on, use another key and have
the faulty key checked by a
P euge O t
dealer
.
Diesel pre-heating warning lamp

brake, then, with the engine at idle, return
the key to the STOP position.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key, which would weigh down on its
blade in the ignition switch and could cause
a malfunction. In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Wait for this warning lamp to go off then operate
the starter (AV V position) until the engine starts.t
he period of illumination of the warning lamp
depends on the climatic conditions.
With the engine hot, the warning lamp comes
on for a few moments, you can start the engine
without waiting.
As soon as the engine is running, release the key.

HILL START ASSIST
An integral part of the DSC system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
t

his function is only active when:
-

the vehicle is completely stationary
, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

the engine is running,
-


the gradient is steeper than 5 %, Operation
On a slope, with engine running and the


vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
-

provided you are in first gear or neutral

with a manual gearbox,
-

provided you are in position
A or M with
an electronic gearbox,
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment
when you release the brake pedal. After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually.
t

hen ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system
checked.
In S
t
OP
mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.

- with a manual gearbox, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down. Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
t

he S t
OP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

reverse gear is engaged,
-

some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP & S TART
the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - S t
OP
mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...).
t

he engine restarts
automatically - S
t
ARt mode - as soon as

you want to move off.
t

he restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
t

he "S" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
In the S t
OP
mode Stop & Start, hill
start assist is inactive.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in S
t
OP

mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
t
he S t
ARt mode is invoked automatically

when:
-

the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-


the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-

some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system. Good practice
With a manual gearbox in S
t
OP
mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in S
t
OP
mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key.
t

his is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in S
t
ARt
mode, the driver takes no action on the


the vehicle during the next
3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively.
t

he
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.
Going into engine START mode
t

he "S" warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:
-

with a manual gearbox

, depress the
clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox

:
●

gear lever in position

A or M, release the
brake pedal,
●

or engage rever

se gear. In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In S
t
OP

mode, moving the gear lever
on an electronic gearbox starts the
engine, in anticipation of moving off.
If the engine stops automatically when
the vehicle is on a slope, as hill start
is only active with the engine running, it is
necessary to restart the engine by engaging
a forward gear and releasing the brake
pedal.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
Driving advice
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
