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.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: drive
mode D is locked in third gear, the steering-
mounted 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.
Do not drive faster than 62
mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
Go to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Malfunction of the selector
In the event of a minor fault
I n 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 this warning lamp
lighting up, accompanied by the
display of a
message and an audible
signal.
In certain cases, the selector lamps may not
come on, but the state of the gearbox is still
displayed in the instrument panel.
Drive cautiously and go to a
PEUGEOT or
a
qualified workshop. You are alerted by the illumination of
this warning lamp.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a
gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal. This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver's door closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the indicator lamp
P in the lever of the electric parking brake
control are on fixed (not flashing).
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function.

180° viewPark Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a
manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots. The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.
A. Entry into a
parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a
parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - Injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking
b ay in for ward gear, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a
complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3
areas: left A, centre B and right C .
This view is available only from the view selection
menu.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:

Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 56 litres.
R eser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP button
if your vehicle has
K
eyless Entry and
Starting.
Refuelling
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of
a
message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6
litres of fuel is left in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a
message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0 .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section. A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5
litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system. Once you have finished refuelling:
F
R
efit the filler cap.
