Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically
, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
-
A
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-
For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically
.

Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
-
driving style,
-
road profile,
-
optimum fuel consumption.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
mode - during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts
automatically
- START mode - as soon
as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect 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
The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
-
with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin
g),
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-
the vehicle has not exceeded
6
mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-
demisting is on,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

The Stop & Start system
requires a battery of specific
characteristics. All work on this
type of battery must be done only
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to "Battery" in section 8.

Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp
comes on for less than
one
second, you can start
without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning
lamp to go off then operate the starter
(Starting position) until the engine
starts.
Door or bonnet open warning lamp
If this comes on, a door or
the bonnet is not closed
correctly, check!
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger (Diesel engine) to
return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear
after parking the vehicle.
STARTING AND ST OPPING
Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the
steering wheel gently while turning the
key, without forcing. In this position,
certain accessories can be used.
Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine
turns over, release the key.
STOP position: steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering locks. Remove
the key.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly
on flooded roads, refer to the

Front foglamps (green,
1st
rotation of the ring
forwards). Rotate this ring forwards
to switch on and
rearwards to switch off.
Their state is confirmed by
the warning lamps in the
instrument panel. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the automatic illumination
of headlamps switches off the rear
foglamps, but the front foglamps
remain on.
To switch off the front and
rear foglamps, turn the
ring rearwards twice in
succession.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
In foggy weather or in snow,
the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
As a consequence, the lighting
will not come on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the
dipped beam headlamps manually.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
Activation The sidelamps
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the
LED daytime running lamps come on
automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are
switched on manually or automatically,
the daytime running lamps go off.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via
the configuration menu.
If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery. Electrical
functions are put on standby and the
battery warning lamp flashes.
Sidelamp operation is not affected by
Economy mode.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Refer to chapter 8,
"Battery
section".

when reverse gear is engaged.
Switching on
This function starts:
-
when the corresponding direction
indicator is switched on,
or
-
from a certain angle of rotation of
the steering wheel.
With dipped or main beam headlamps,
this function makes use of the beam
from a front foglamp to illu
minate the
inside of a bend, when the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (approximately
40 km/h) (urban driving, winding road,
intersections, parking manoeuvres...).
CORNERING LIGHTING
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the
road, the headlamps must be adjusted
to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.
