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
.

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.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:
-
crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of
f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-
driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
crossing a stream.
On snow
, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
t
he accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way.

FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert the key
, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When fillin
g with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the flap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems. A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
t
his vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. t
his could cause malfunctions.
t
he capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
-
After fillin
g the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the flap.

ADBLUE®ADDITIVE AND SCR
SYSTEM
FOR
B
LUE HD I D IESEL
ENGINES
to assure respect for the environment
and conformity with the new e uro
6
emissions standard, without
adversely affecting the performance
or fuel consumption of Diesel engines,
P
euge O t
has taken the decision
to equip its vehicles with an ef
fective
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle
filter (FAP) for the treatment of exhaust
gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
using an additive called AdBlue®
containing urea, a catalytic converter
turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides
(NOx) into nitrogen and water, which
are harmless to health and the
environment.
t
he AdBlue
® additive is held in a
special tank located under the boot
at the rear of the vehicle. It has a
capacity of 17 litres: this provides a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20 000
km), after which an alert
is triggered warning you when the
reserve remaining is enough for just
1
500 miles (2 400 km).
During each scheduled service of
your vehicle by a P
euge O t
dealer
or a qualified workshop, the
AdBlue
®
additive tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage between two
services is greater than 12 500 miles
(20 000 km), we recommend that you
go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the necessary top-
up carried out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty,
a system required by regulations
prevents starting of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with
the SCR system, you must go to
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible: after
a running distance of 650 miles
(1
100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine
starting.

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on
your vehicle by a P
euge O t
dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity
of the tank, it may be necessary to
top-up the additive between services,
more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the
requirement.
Y
ou can got to a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself,
please read the following warnings
carefully
. Precautions in uset
he AdBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution. This liquid is non-flammable,
colourless and odourless (kept in a
cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin,
wash the affected area with soap and
water. In the event of contact with the
eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with
large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15 minutes.
If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the
mouth with clean water and then drink
plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk
of release of ammonia cannot be
excluded: do not inhale the product.
Ammonia vapour has en irritant effect
on mucous membranes (eyes, nose
and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity.
u
se only AdBlue
® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with
water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
t
he supply in a non-drip bottle
simplifies toping-up. You can obtain
1.89 litre (half a
u S gallon) bottles
from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy
goods vehicles.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C
and deteriorates above 25°C. It is
recommended that bottles be stored in
a cool area and protected from direct
sunlight.
u
nder these conditions, the additive
can be kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, can be used
once it has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles of AdBlue
® in
your vehicle. Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the
vehicle is parked on a flat and level
surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above
-11°C. Otherwise, by freezing, the
AdBlue
® cannot be poured into its tank.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for
a few hours to allow the top-up to be
carried out.
