Releasing
When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on
indicates that the parking brake is
still applied or has not been fully
released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into operation
when reverse gear is engaged; an audible
signal is heard.
For more information on Rear parking
sensors , refer to the corresponding
section.

P

ull the lever up slightly and press the
button to release the parking brake lever.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on the engine or model, this system
allows fuel consumption to be reduced by
suggesting when to change up.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the system's
advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the form
of the SHIFT indicator, accompanied
by an upward arrow to signal to the
driver that they can change up.
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 recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.
F

R

aise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce the
noise on engaging reverse gear.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after the vehicle has exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not triggered when:
-
t he system is initialising,
-

t
he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he air conditioning is on,
-

t
he rear screen demisting is on,
-

t
he windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
-

r
everse gear is engaged for a parking
manoeuvre,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, particle filter
regeneration, braking assistance, exterior
temperature, etc.) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a
system.-

d
uring intensive use of Stop & Start, it
may be deactivated to conser ve starting
ability; go to a PEUGEOT dealer to have the

Reactivation
Malfunction
F Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the button indicator lamp going out and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault with the system, the
S top & Start system is deactivated and this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
a
message in the instrument panel screen.
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
In the event of a

malfunction in STOP mode, it
is possible to restart the engine by depressing
the clutch pedal fully or by putting the gear
lever into neutral. This system requires a
specific battery
with a


special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a
battery not approved by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For more information on the Battery , refer to
the corresponding section.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (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 (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-

t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-

u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in
a


gear other than reverse,
-
do

wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a
driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.

Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system
o ccurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message
in the screen. Have it checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop.
Traffic sign recognition
This system is a driving aid that uses a camera
l ocated at the top of the windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of signs
and displays the corresponding information in
the instrument panel:
-
sp

eed limits,
-

n
o overtaking,
-

e
nd of the above-mentioned limits/
restrictions.
The system detects the signs on the left and on
the right, low-mounted and high-mounted, as
well as overlapping signs.
The system detects only round signs.

• if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed and go to the nearest
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a
visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted with a tyre.
Rear parking sensors,
audible assistance
If your vehicle is so equipped, the system
consists of four proximity sensors, installed in
the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: a person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain types of object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre if they are located in
the blind spots between and below the sensors. For example, a post, roadworks cone or
pavement bollard.
The rear parking sensor system may be linked
with the reversing camera.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Take even greater care if you reverse with
the rear doors open.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
F Engage reverse gear using the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

Switching off
F Move from reverse gear into neutral.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel accompanied by
a message in the screen, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reversing camera
If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it is
located at the rear, next to the third brake lamp.
Switching on
The camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9
mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11
mph (18 km/h).
The camera also comes on with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are opened.
Switching off
When a for ward gear is engaged, the last
im age remains displayed for approximately
5


seconds then switches off.
In the same way, the last image also remains
displayed, with the vehicle stationary, when the
rear doors are closed.
With optimum vehicle conditions (position
on the road, loading level) the maximum
area of visibility covered by the camera
has a
field depth approximately 3 m long
and 5.5
m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending
on the external weather conditions
(brightness, rain, snow, fog, etc.), the
load in the vehicle and the position of the
vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the
screen, avoid using a
detergent or a tool
which may scratch the glass.
Use a
non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
It sends images to the screen installed in the
cab.
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the settings menu of the touch screen
audio-telematic system.
This rear vision is an aid to manoeuvring. The
reversing camera may be linked with the rear
parking sensors.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about
12 inches (30 centimetres), the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.

ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels installed on your vehicle:
