Electronic immobiliser
The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in. In the event of a fault, you are
informed by lighting of this warning
lamp in the instrument panel, an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, the front wheels should be
straight before switching off the engine. Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.

When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace.
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, associated with
an audible signal and a message
on the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
F
i f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
F

i
f you force the movement of the lever
from position P to another position with
a flat battery.
To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(traffic jams, etc.), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake.Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gearshift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox,
the system is only active in manual mode.

Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury! For entry into a parallel parking space the
system does not detect spaces which are
clearly much smaller or larger than the
size of the vehicle.
The "Parking sensors" function activates
automatically during the manoeuvres, it is
possible that a warning lamp illuminates
on the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, without affecting the parking.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter
tyres, etc.) can inter fere with the correct
operation of the parking assistance
system.
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
Entering a parallel parking
space
F Once you have detected an available space,
limit the speed of the vehicle to 12 mph
(20


km/h).
F

P
osition your vehicle before this space.
The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
