Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely
and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.Deactivation is done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
Operating fault
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip
(rain, snow, black ice) that the risk of
loss of grip increases. It is therefore
important for your safety to keep these
systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic
components as the assembly and repair
procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain
neutral behaviour on the road.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Reactivation is done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.

brake manually,
F
s
witch off the ignition.
If you exceed the period of five seconds, the
gearbox goes into P mode; you must then start
the procedure again from the beginning.
Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
ambient temperature, the profile of the road,
the load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the if the road speed and engine
speed permit.
If the engine speed is too high or too low, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
With N engaged, opening the driver's
door results in an audible signal.
Closing the driver's door stops the
signal.

In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that
the engine be allowed to run for a few
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the engine and gearbox.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, P mode is engaged
automatically, with the exception of N, in which
case P
mode will be engaged after a delay of
5 seconds (allowing the change to free-wheel).
Check that P mode has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
Operating faults
Malfunction of the gearbox Malfunction of the selector
In the event of a minor fault
In the event of a serious fault
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, away
from the traffic, and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the ignition is switched off,
the gearbox goes into P mode
automatically.You are alerted by the illumination of
this warning lamp.
The corresponding indicator lamps
for the selector panel and the electric
parking brake control lever must
be on, as well as the ones in the
instrument panel.
This is signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal, when the ignition is switched on.
The gearbox goes into back-up mode: D mode
stays in third gear, the steering mounted control
paddles are inoperative, M mode is no longer
available. You may feel a pronounced jolt when
engaging reverse. This does not present any
risk for the gearbox.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
You are alerted by the illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the display
of a message and an audible signal.
In certain cases, the selector lamps may not
come on, but the state of the gearbox is still
displayed in the instrument panel.
Drive cautiously and go to a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
