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.

Hill start assist
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held for a momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox,
-
p
rovided you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain gradient conditions are met,
-
w

Gear shift indicator*
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.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
* Depending on engine. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Operation
On BlueHDi Diesel 135 and 150 versions with
manual gearbox, in certain driving conditions
the system may suggest changing into neutral
so that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode with Stop & Start). In this case,
N is displayed in the instrument panel.

Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115
and 120 Diesel versions, when you place
the gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey. It
resets itself to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the START/STOP
button. -
w
ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in N mode.
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode
-
during stops in the traffic (red lights,
traffic jams,
...). The engine restarts
automatically
-
START
mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key or the S TA R T/
STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
