Creep function
This function allows the vehicle to be
manoeuvred with greater flexibility at low speed
(when parking, in traffic jams, …).
Having previously set the gear selector to
position E , M or R, the vehicle moves as
soon as you take your foot off the brake
pedal , at low speed, with the engine at idle.
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle with the engine running.
The creep function may be temporarily
unavailable if the clutch temperature is
too high or the slope too steep. An audible
alarm sounds when the clutch temperature
is too high.
The position of the gear selector (
R, N , E or M)
is displayed in the instrument panel.
In automatic mode (Easy), when you
temporarily take over control of gear changes,
the gear engaged is also displayed in the
instrument panel.

Manual mode
During braking or deceleration, the gearbox
changes down automatically to be in the
correct gear for the vehicle to accelerate again.
Under strong acceleration, the gearbox will not
change up without action by the driver at the
gear selector or the controls under the steering
wheel (unless the engine speed is close to its
maximum speed).Automatic mode (EASY)The gear change requests are acted upon only
if the engine speed allows. If they are rejected,
an audible signal sounds.
The gear engaged is displayed in the
instrument panel.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle

Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

hen the vehicle is stationary, you put the
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch
pedal.
Stop & Starttime counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. 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 change features
of the vehicle such as braking, power
steering…
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
traffic stops (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode
– as soon as you want to move off. Restarting
occurs 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. -

via Mirror Screen, the sign displayed by
the system may be temporarily hidden. It
will be redisplayed as soon as you pass
another sign.Speed limiter
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The limiter is switched on manually: this
can be done regardless of the vehicle speed.
However, if you are travelling at less than
18

mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be set at 18
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is paused using the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the set limit
speed has been reached again.
The programmed speed is erased when
the ignition is switched off.
The limiter cannot, under any
circumstances, replace respect for speed
limits, nor the vigilance of the driver.
Steering mounted control
The controls for this system are grouped
together on this steering mounted control.
1.Activation/deactivation of the limiter: by
pressing on the end of the control.
2. Programming the speed/decreasing the
value: by pressing the control downwards.
3. Resuming speed limitation/increasing the
value: by pressing the control upwards.
4. Pause limitation: by pulling the control
towards you.

Setting the thresholds for
triggering the alertDeactivation/reactivation
Press this button for more than 3 seconds.
T his warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the message
"PCS OFF" is displayed. Press this button again to reactivate the
system.
This indicator lamp lights up on the
instrument panel.
The alert thresholds determine how you want
to be alerted to the risk of an imminent collision
with the vehicle travelling in front of you.
You can choose from three thresholds:
A. "Distant", to be given an early alert
(cautious driving).
B. "Normal",
C. "Close", to be given a

later alert (sporty
driving).
Press this button in succession to
scroll through the thresholds:
The default setting is "Normal". The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start using the key or the "START/
STOP " button.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles
(c ar s,
trucks), stationary or moving in the same
direction of traffic.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or inter vene if the
driver:
-

p
resses hard on the accelerator (even if the
speed limiter is active),
-

o
r suddenly turns the steering wheel
(avoidance manoeuvre).
The ability to detect is reduced if:
-

y
ou are driving in an environment with sharp
turns and/or roads in poor condition,
-

c
arrying an excessively heavy load which
badly affects the horizontal attitude of your
vehicle,
-

y
our vehicle skids.

Lane departure warning
system
System that detects involuntary crossing of
longitudinal markings of roads, using a camera
that recognises the continuous or broken lines.
To increase your safety, the camera analyses
the image then triggers a
warning if the driver's
attention drops and the vehicle drifts over
a
lane marking (speed greater than 30 mph
(50


km/h)).
This system is particularly suited to motor ways
and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot under any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
You must obser ve the driving regulations
and take a
break every two hours.
When driving with snow chains or with the
spare wheel fitted, you must deactivate
the system.
Activation
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
lighting of a warning lamp in the instrument panel.
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is flashing and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked 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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.Under-inflation alert

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
Detection of loss of pressure does not
always bring about a visible deformation
of the tyre. Do not make do with just
a

visual check.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
ETG gearbox
The ETG gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
