Airbags
Designed to contribute to the safety of the
occupants in case of violent collisions. The
airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
I
n the event of violent impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and help better
protect the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
-

I
n the event of a slight impact, an impact
at the rear and, under certain conditions of
rollover, the airbags may not deploy; only
the seat belt helps to protect you in these
situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A Front impact zone.
B Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A ,
in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.

Safety

80
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only
carry out any operations that require sustained
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P
, depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users, -

d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in the N position and apply the
parking brake.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual operation.
Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace. Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
advising the driver when to change up.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
Operation
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.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal. -

T
he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and driver
actions (power demand, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-

d
own shifting.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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.
The Stop & Start requires the use of a
12
V battery of special specification and
technology. All work on this type of battery
must only be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. For more
information on the 12
V batter y, refer to
the corresponding section.

89
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the button.
With a manual gearbox, when vehicle
speed is below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
the vehicle is stationary (depending
on engine), the Stop & Start warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear
lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not activated when:
- T he driver's door is open.
-

T
he driver's seat belt is not fastened.
-

T
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment.
-
D

emisting/defrosting is active.
-

C
ertain special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) make it
necessary to ensure control of a system or
the vehicle.
The Stop & Start warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
With a manual gearbox , the Stop
& Start warning lamp goes off on
the instrument panel and the engine
restarts automatically when you
press the clutch pedal fully down to
t h e f l o o r.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
As a safety measure or to maintain comfort
levels in the vehicle, START mode is activated
automatically when:
-
Y

ou open the driver's door.
-
Y

ou unfasten the driver's seat belt.
-

T
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph
(3
km/h) with an electronic gearbox.
-

C
ertain special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) make it
necessary to ensure control of a system or
the vehicle.
The Stop & Start warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes

This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation/Manual
reactivation
In certain cases, such as the need to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.

Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in all weather conditions.
Precautions for use
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being
released cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the vapours. Ammonia has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO

22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank. Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15

minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth Bottles or containers are available from a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Practical information

117
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
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 wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
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.
