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.

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

ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.

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
coming out of reverse gear.

Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
For more information on Memorising speeds

or Speed limit recognition , refer to the
corresponding section.

As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed
of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press
button 4
.

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving
aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time,
using the brake or accelerator pedal as
appropriate.
This system provides two functions:
-
a

utomatic regulation of the speed of the
vehicle to a value programmed by the driver,
-
a

utomatic adjustment of the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the middle of the front bumper, with a maximum
range of 150 metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of
your vehicle, travelling in the same direction.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system.
If the braking system is used to decelerate the
vehicle, the brake lamps come on.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed. If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually, it
requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and
112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
An automatic gearbox must be in position D

mode is selected, but not started (grey).
F
V
ehicle moving, press one of the buttons 2
or 3 : the current speed of your vehicle
becomes the cruise speed setting.
The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at
"Normal" (2 dashes).
Otherwise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
When the cruise control is operating,
Stop & Start is automatically
deactivated.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually by:
-

a
ction by the driver:
●

o
n button 4 ,
●

o
n the brake pedal,
●

o
n the electric parking brake control,
●

w
hen changing from D to N with an
automatic gearbox.
-

o
r automatically, if operation of the ESC
system is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following braking of the vehicle
bringing it to a complete stop, the
system holds the vehicle stationary;
the cruise control is paused. The driver
should press the accelerator pedal to
move off, then reactivate the system
by exceeding 18
mph (30 km/h) and
pressing button
2, 3 or 4 .
If the driver takes no action following
this immobilisation, the electric parking
brake is applied automatically after a
few minutes.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
