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
.

Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
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 - STo P
mode - during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The 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 " e C o " 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
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, at speeds 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 ST
o
P mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, ST
o
P mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
ST
o
P mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
ST

P mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: S to P mode

Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of

This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference numbers
available from a P
eugeo T dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
P
eugeo T
introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a P
eugeo T dealer or
a qualified workshop.

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.
The Hill Start
Assist system is a driving
aid. 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, without using the
parking brake, you have approximately
2
seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
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

-
when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the
system occurs, this
