Special aspects of automatic 
mode
If you exceed the time limit of five seconds, 
the gearbox engages mode P
; you should then 
restart the procedure.
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, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically 
or holds the gear selected until the maximum 
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver 
to temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle 
speed and engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes 
place only if the vehicle speed and engine 
speed permit.

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.control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no 
longer available. You may feel a pronounced 
jolt when engaging reverse. This does not 
present any risk for the gearbox.
Malfunction of the selector
In the event of a minor fault
You are alerted by this warning lamp 
lighting up, accompanied by the display 
of a message and an audible signal.
Drive cautiously and go to a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
In certain cases, the selector indicator lamps 
may not come on, but the state of the gearbox 
is still displayed in the instrument panel.
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 mode P automatically. You are alerted by the illumination of 
this warning lamp.
Activation/Deactivation
F To deactivate or activate this mode, press 
this button.
The indicator lamp is illuminated when the 
system is activated. With a petrol engine, switching into "free-
wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle 
down without using engine braking.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62
  mph (100   km/h), 
while obser ving the speed limit.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine 
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during 
stops in 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
This indicator lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the engine goes 
into standby automatically: -
 
W
 ith a manual gearbox
, at speeds below 
2   mph (3   km/h) (with BlueHDi 130 S&S 
engine) or with the vehicle stationary (other 
engines), when you place the gear selector 
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
- With an automatic gearbox , vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or place the gear selector lever in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in STOP 
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
For your comfort, during parking 
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available 
for a few seconds after coming out of 
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify 
the vehicle's functions, 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.
Special cases: STOP mode not 
available
STOP mode does not activate, mainly when:
-
 t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or 
falling),
-
 
t
 he driver's door is open,
-
 
t
 he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
 
t

The speed limiter is switched on  manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19
  mph 
(30
 
km/h).
The programmed speed value remains in the 
system memory when the ignition is switched

The speed limiter is a driving aid that 
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the 
need to obser ve speed limits or the need 
for vigilance on the part of the driver.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and 
the displayed programmed speed flashes.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to 
the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of 
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will 
not be able to prevent the vehicle from 
exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of 
your vehicle.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not 
due to action by the driver, an audible signal 
supplements the alert.
Once the vehicle slows down to the required 
setting, the speed limiter is active again: the 
speed setting display is fixed once more.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position: 
the display of information on the speed 
limiter disappears.
Malfunction
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the 
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that the mat is positioned 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed 
limiter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Cruise control
The system automatically maintains 
the vehicle’s cruising speed at a 
setting programmed by the driver, 
without using 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 or higher gear 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.

Adaptive cruise control
This system provides the following 
functions:
- 
A
 utomatically maintains the vehicle 
at the speed set by the driver.
-
 
A
 utomatic adjustment of the 
distance between your vehicle and 
the one in front.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox or with the 
BlueHDi 150 S&S EAT6 engine, automatic 
adjustment can cause your vehicle to come to a 
complete stop.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration 
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the 
engine and the braking system.
Principle of operation
The system 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 driving more slowly, the 
system slows, or even stops your vehicle (with 
the EAT8 automatic gearbox or the BlueHDi 
150 S&S EAT6 engine), using engine braking 
and the braking system.
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 cruise control 
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach 
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking 
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the 
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as 
the braking system is activated with 
deceleration of the vehicle. This system is a driving aid that cannot, 
in any circumstances, replace the need to 
obser ve speed limits and safety distances, 
nor the need for vigilance on the part of 
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may 
not be properly seen or may be poorly 
interpreted by the camera and/or radar 
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor 
assessment of the distances and lead to 
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or 
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times 
to retake control of their vehicle by 
permanently holding both hands on the 
steering wheel and keeping their feet near 
the brake and accelerator pedals.
Steering mounted control
1.
Select cruise control mode.
Primarily designed for driving on main 
roads and motor ways, this system only 
works on moving vehicles

Level 2 (red): visual and audible 
alert, warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too 
high approaching another vehicle, the first 
level of alert may not be displayed: the 
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important:  alert level 1 is never displayed 
for a stationary obstacle or when the 
" Close " trigger threshold has been 
selected.
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid 
a collision, this system will supplement the 
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you 
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
Operation
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50   mph 
(80   km/h) when a stationary vehicle is 
detected.
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed must be between 6   mph 
and 87
  mph (10   km/h and 140   km/h) when a 
moving vehicle is detected.
If the camera and/or radar have 
confirmed the presence of a vehicle 
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp 
flashes once the function is acting 
on the vehicle's brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake 
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from 
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the 
vehicle at any time by sharply turning 
the steering wheel and/or pressing the 
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by 
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
the automatic braking is maintained for 1 
to 2
 
seconds.
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, inter venes following the alert if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a 
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver 
fails to react.
Level 1 (orange)
