6N: neutral.
D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.
B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with 
regenerative braking function activated.
In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not 
indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed in 
the instrument panel for a few seconds after 
switching off the ignition.
Regenerative braking
The regenerative braking function emulates 
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need 
to depress the brake pedal. When the driver 
releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows 
down more quickly and recharges the battery.
► 
From mode
   D/B, moving the push selector 
backwards activates/deactivates the function.
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with 
a B.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver must always be ready to use  the brake pedal: in certain situations (e.g. 
full battery, extreme temperatures), the 
regenerative braking level may be temporarily 
limited and deceleration may be reduced.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary 
(for approximately 2   seconds) when making a hill 
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
–
 
The vehicle is completely stationary
 , with your 
foot on the brake pedal.
–
 
Certain slope conditions are met.
–
 
The driver
 ’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle 
with the engine running, apply the parking 
brake manually. After that, ensure that the 
parking brake indicator lamp and the indicator 
lamp
  P in the electric parking brake control 
lever are on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be  deactivated. However, use of the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its 
operation.
Operation 
 
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle 
stationary, the vehicle is held for a short time 
when you release the brake pedal:
–
 
provided you are in first gear or neutral with a 
manual gearbox.
–
 
provided you are in mode  D
 or M with an 
automatic gearbox.
 
 
On a descending slope, with the vehicle 
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the 
vehicle is held for a short time when you 
release the brake pedal.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 
on if there is a fault.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V 
battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be 
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures  of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or 
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel), especially before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the  Identification 
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
  km) at 
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

Driving
6180° view 
 
The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking 
space in forward 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.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance: 
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. Several forward and 
reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by 
holding the steering wheel.
 
 
The Park Assist system provides assistance for 
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space
B. Exit from a "parallel" parking space
C. Entry into a "bay" parking space
The Park Assist system cannot operate 
with the engine switched off.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents 
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In 
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts 
the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of  the steering for a maximum of 4 
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after 
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned 
correctly, take back control to complete the 
manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the  driving instructions are displayed in the 
instrument panel.
The assistance is activated: the display  of this symbol and a speed limit 
indicate that the steering manoeuvres are 
controlled by the system: do not touch the 
steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the  display of this symbol indicates that the 
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled 
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the  Blind Spot Monitoring System.
The Parking sensors function is not available during parking space 
measurement. It intervenes later when 
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is 
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal

Practical information
7Fitting directly to the roof 
 
You must only attach the transverse bars to 
the four fixing points located on the roof frame. 
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors 
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be 
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Maximum load distributed over the 
transverse roof bars, for a loading height 
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier): 
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the 
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied 
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed 
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to 
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings 
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order 
to comply with the regulations for transporting 
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care 
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close 
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its 
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight 
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each 
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer 
needed.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below 
the roof bars so that it does not impede the 
movements of the sunroof - risk of major 
damage!
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 front wheels. They must never be 
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation specific to  each country on the use of snow chains 
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type 
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/65 R17 9 mm
225/55 R18 9 mm
205/55 R19 9 mm
235/50 R19 Not suitable for 
chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips 
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the 
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►
 
Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of the vehicle.
►
 
Fit the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer
.
►
 
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 
without exceeding 31
  mph (50   km/h).

Practical information
AdBlue® (BlueHDi) 
 
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles 
with a system that associates SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter 
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, 
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen 
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are 
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km),  highly 
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once 
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive 
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and 
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road 
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the 
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and 
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is  less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the 
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when 
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 
the shock absorbers have a major impact on 
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is 
important to have them regularly checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from 
the time the engine is started until it is 
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 
time.
A
 faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 
recommended replacement frequency, stated in 
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 
reached first.    

186
Practical information
The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 
5 litres or more.
If  the AdBlue® tank is completely empty 
– which is confirmed by the message 
"Top up  AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is 
essential to add at least 5 litres.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle 
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling 
road, in an automatic car wash, or being 
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of 
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and 
electric parking brake
  /  
Release procedure
►  With the engine running and while depressing 
the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the 
neutral position.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, switch off 
the ignition.
►  Release the brake pedal, then switch on the 
ignition again.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, press the 
control lever to release the parking brake.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is 
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when 
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the 
affected area with soap and running water. In the 
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse 
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an 
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek 
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning 
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth 
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for 
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot 
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia 
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous 
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of 
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that 
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature 
of the vehicle is above -11
  °C. Otherwise the 
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured 
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area 
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried 
out.
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel 
fuel tank.
If  any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are 
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse 
immediately with cold water or wipe with a 
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a 
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after 
a breakdown because of a lack of 
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 
minutes before switching on the ignition, 
without opening the driver’s door, 
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key 
into the ignition switch, or introducing the 
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting
 
” 
system into the passenger compartment
.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 
seconds before starting the engine.
►
 
Switch off the ignition and remove the key 
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
►
 
With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the 
"
START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
 
 
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►
 
With a container of 
AdBlue
®: after checking 
the expiry date, read the instructions on the 
label carefully before pouring the contents of the 
container
 
into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►
 
With an
 
AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle 
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically 
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
 Add between 10 and 13 litres using 
AdBlue® containers.
–
 Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
