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
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is active,
-

s
ome temporary conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) make this
necessary to ensure control of a system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the
engine restarts automatically:
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,
-

This system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
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
of f.
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.

135
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
, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
To do so, it has a radar located in the front
b u m p e r.

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)
: visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-

T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
