In certain circumstances, you may have to 
turn the steering wheel firmly to move the 
road wheels (if the wheels are against a 
kerb, for example).
F Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering and the key.
F Turn the key to position 2 , ignition on, to 
operate the engine pre-heating system.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes  off in the instrument panel then 
operate the starter motor by 
turning the key to position 3 without 
pressing the accelerator pedal until 
the engine starts. Once the engine 
is running, release the key.
The indicator lamp does not come on 
if the engine is hot. In some climatic 
conditions, it is advised to follow the 
recommendations below:
-
 
I
 n temperate conditions, do not leave 
the engine at idle to warm up but move 
off straight away and drive at moderate 
speed.
Depending on version, if the air  conditioning is activated and when the 
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, 
the idle engine speed can accelerate 
to reach 1,300
  rpm according to the air 
conditioning requirements.
-
 
I
 n wintry conditions, the pre-heater 
warning lamp will stay on for a longer 
period after switching on the ignition; 
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
  In ver y severe wintr y 
conditions
 
(temperature below 
-23°C), to ensure the correct operation 
and durability of the mechanical 
components of your vehicle (engine 
and gearbox), leave the engine 
running for 4
 
minutes before moving 
of f.
Never leave the engine running in 
an enclosed area without adequate 
ventilation: internal combustion engines 
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! With petrol engines
, after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when 
stationary, with the engine running, for 
anything up to 2
  minutes (accelerated idle 
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the 
engine. If the engine does not start after 
several attempts, do not keep trying: you 
risk damaging the starter motor or the 
engine.
Call in a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
 
o
 nly use mats which are suited to the 
fixings already present in the vehicle; 
these fixings must be used,
-
 
n
 ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may inter fere with access to 
the pedals and hinder the operation of the 
cruise control/speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have 
two fixings located below the seat.

In the event of a failure of the main ser vice 
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver 
taken ill, under instruction, etc.), a continuous  pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle. 
Braking takes place while the control lever is 
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever 
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of 
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the 
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be 
displayed in the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction, 
signalled by the illumination of one or both 
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then 
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the 
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" 
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is 
immobilised.
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.
It is only active when:
-
 
t
 he vehicle is completely stationary, with 
your foot on the brake pedal,

Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic 
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N while the vehicle 
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the 
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control 
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear 
changes using the “ +” and “ -” steering mounted 
controls. If the engine speed allows, the gear 
change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain 
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle 
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the 
control paddles, the gearbox returns to 
automatic operation.
Self-sufficient traction (moving 
without using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the 
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic 
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released 
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle 
moves
 
as soon as you take your foot off 
the brake pedal (even without pressing the 
accelerator).
As a safety measure (children on board), 
never leave the vehicle with the engine 
running and the doors closed.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 
mode, without any inter vention on the part 
of the driver. It continuously selects the most 
suitable gear according to the style of driving, 
the profile of the road and the load in the 
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without 
touching the selector, press the 
accelerator fully (kick-down). The 
gearbox changes down automatically 
or holds the gear selected until the 
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide effective engine 
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if 
you release the accelerator sharply.
Manual operation
F With the selector in position D , 
press button M for sequential  
changing of the six gears.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off. In manual mode, it is not necessary 
to release the accelerator pedal when

To reduce fuel consumption when 
stationary for long periods with the 
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position 
the selector on N and apply the parking 
brake.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by 
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise 
you to skip one or more gears. You can 
follow this indication without engaging the 
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be 
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road 
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the 
deciding factors when choosing the best gear. 
The driver therefore remains responsible for 
deciding whether or not to follow the indications 
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the 
instrument panel, in the form of an 
ascending or descending arrow and 
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift 
recommendation according to the driving 
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the 
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration, 
braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
 e
 ngaging first gear,
-
 enga
 ging reverse.
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.
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.
When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph 
( 3   km/h) or the vehicle is stationary 
(depending on engine), this indicator lamp 
comes on in the instrument panel and the 
engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , when you put the 
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch 
pedal.
-
