Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior 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
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only 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.
Moving off
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.

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
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 switches to back-up mode: drive
mode D is locked in third gear, the steering-
mounted control paddles are inoperative,
Malfunction of the selector
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. mode M 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 60
mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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. You are alerted by the warning lamp
lighting up, 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.

Hill start assist
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 slope conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the lever of the electric parking
brake control are on fixed (not flashing).
Operation
Malfunction
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a moment
when you release the brake pedal:
-
i
f you are in first gear or in neutral with a
manual gearbox,
-
p
rovided you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox. On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
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.

With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g ,e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging a lower gear,
-
enga
ging reverse.Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
- with 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,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in N mode.
The time counter aggregates the STOP mode
activation periods during a trip. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the operation
of vehicle systems such as braking, power
steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the "START/STOP" button.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:

Cruise control
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 is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25
mph
(40
km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of the selector in mode D or of
second gear or higher in mode M .
Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start. The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-
b y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve 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.
Steering mounted control
1. Select cruise control mode.
2. Set the current speed of the vehicle as
the cruise setting or lower the cruise
setting.
3. Set the current speed of the vehicle as
the cruise setting or raise the cruise
setting.
4. Pause / Resume cruise control.
5. Depending on version:

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.
To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen:
F
p

speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (for overtaking, etc.) 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
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed. 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 .
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position:
