For safety:
It is only possible to come out
of position N if the brake pedal is
pressed.
t
he change from position A (driving in
automatic mode) to position M (driving
in manual mode) or vice versa can be
made at any time.
t

- to start the engine, the gear
selector must be in position N.
-
Press firmly on the brake pedal.
-
Operate the starter

-
When the engine is running, place
the gear selector on
R, A or M as
desired.
-
Release the brake pedal and

If the gear selector is not in position
N,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the engine will not start.
Repeat the above procedure.
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear
Move the gear selector to R.
Only attempt to select reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically
, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
-
A
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-
For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically
.

automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
-
driving style,
-
road profile,
-
optimum fuel consumption.

STOP & START
the Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - S tOP
mode - during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - S
t
ARt
mode - as soon as you want to move
of
f.
t
he restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in S
t
OP
mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, S t
OP
mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S t
OP
mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
S t
OP
mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
S t
OP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-
the vehicle has not exceeded
6
mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-
demisting is on,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

With a manual gearbox in S
t
OP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine. Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, S

ARt is
invoked automatically when:
-
you open the driver's door
,
-
you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (1

HILL START ASSIST
this system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic
stability control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary
,
engine running, foot on the brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
t
he Hill Start Assist function is
a driving aid system. It is not an
automatic vehicle parking function or
an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message in
the screen. Have the system checked
by at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
