the brake pedal, you should:
-

select first gear or reverse.
-


apply the parking brake to immobilise the

vehicle.
-

switch of
f the ignition.
Temporarily changing gear
in AUTO mode
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
t

his action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for

"AUTO" remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.
"ECO" economy programme
t

his programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E to activate the programme.
Sequential mode
After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position A/M again.
"E" appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
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

he

change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.
Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.

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.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been
released properly, this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
t
here is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).

Bipper_en_Chap07_accessoire_ed02-2014
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "
l evels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
t

he air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine.
t

he maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "
t
echnical data -


Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
P
euge O t towbar is used.

Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
t

he replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
u

nless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.

euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
t

he presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
t

he involvement of a P
euge
O
t
dealer


or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
