short time.
If an obstacle is encountered during operation
of the electric windows, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the window control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric windows, they must ensure that
no one is preventing correct closing of the
windows.
The driver must ensure that all passengers
make correct use of electric windows.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.

Driving
When the battery is in standby mode,
access to the vehicle is only possible by
unlocking the mechanical lock on the driver's
side door.
After a battery standby, the information (time, date, radio stations, etc.) is
memorised.
To remove the battery from standby mode:
► Turn the key to the MAR - ON position.► Start the vehicle normally (AV V position).
Parking brake
Application
► Apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.► Check that the parking brake is correctly applied before leaving the vehicle.
Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is stationary.
When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.
In the event of a failure of the
hydraulic braking system
While driving , to avoid any accidental
movement of the vehicle, use the parking
brake while depressing the brake pedal.
In this exceptional circumstance, it is
advisable to pull the parking brake up gently
so as not to block the rear wheels - risk of
skidding!
Release

► Pull the lever up gently and press the button to release the parking brake.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 fully depress the
clutch pedal.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under
the pedal:
– ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
– never 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

► Lift the ring under the knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage it until the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
The movement must be done slowly to reduce
the noise when engaging reverse gear.
If fitted to the vehicle, the parking
sensors are activated when reverse gear
is engaged; an audible signal sounds.
For more information on the Parking
sensors, refer to the corresponding section.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on version or engine, this system
reduces fuel consumption by recommending a
higher gear change.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered 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.
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, braking,
etc.).
The system never recommends engaging first
gear or reverse, or changing down.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
To deactivate/reactivate the function:



► Press the button.A message in the instrument panel confirms the
change of status.
When the function is deactivated, the indicator
lamp is lit; if the engine was in standby, it restarts
immediately.
To allow continuous operation of the air conditioning, deactivate the Stop & Start.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, place the gear lever
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into
standby.
Automatic engine shutdown is only possible when the speed of the vehicle
has exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated engine shutdowns when driving
slowly.

70
Driving
Never leave the vehicle without first
switching the ignition off 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 activated when:– the system is initialising,– the driver's door is open,– the driver's seat belt is not fastened,– the air conditioning is on,– the rear screen demisting is on,– the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,– the reverse gear is engaged for the parking manoeuvre,– some 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.
– during intensive use of Stop & Start, it may be deactivated to conserve starting ability; go
to a PEUGEOT dealer to have the function
reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument panel flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START
mode
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of the engine is only possible by fully depressing the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp goes off and the engine restarts.
If, after an automatic restart in START mode, the
driver does not perform any action on the vehicle
within 3 minutes, the system stops the engine
permanently. The engine can only be restarted
with the ignition key.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
The START mode may be invoked automatically
in the following circumstances:
– the vehicle is free-wheeling on a gradient,– the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,– the air conditioning is on,– the engine has been stopped for around 3 minutes with Stop & Start,
– some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, air
conditioning setting, etc.) where the engine is
needed for control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, a message appears in the
instrument panel screen, accompanied by
this indicator lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
While in STOP mode with a manual
gearbox, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, restarting
may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfastens their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of this
indicator lamp, and the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the Stop &
Start is deactivated and this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a malfunction in STOP mode, the
engine can be restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or putting the gear lever in neutral.
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 (also called HHC - Hill Hold Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
– the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake,– the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5%,– uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than reverse,– downhill, 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,

conditions:
– the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake,– the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5%,– uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than reverse,– downhill, 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, you
may hear the typical mechanical brake release
noise, 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:
– when the clutch pedal is released,– when the parking brake is applied,– when the engine is switched off,– if the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up, accompanied by
an audible signal and confirmed by a message
on the display. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system
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) as well as 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 fuel consumption.

74
Driving
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar.
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound interference such as that emitted
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
► ensure that the mat is secured correctly ,► never fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .




Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects the following
types of signs and displays the corresponding
information on the instrument panel:
– the maximum authorised speed,– no overtaking,– the end of the previous limitations / restrictions.

6Blind Spot Monitoring
System with trailer
detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system includes sensors, placed on the
sides of the rear bumper, which monitor the blind
spot areas.
It warns the driver of the presence of another
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the areas
hidden from their field of vision, while driving and reversing.
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the detection
area is enlarged by the length of the trailer.


The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp
that appears in the door mirror on the side in
question. Depending on the configuration, an
audible warning may sound.
Activation/Deactivation
The function can be activated or
deactivated using the MODE button in the
Blind spot menu.
For more information on Vehicle configuration
(MODE), refer to the corresponding section.
Two modes of activation are available:
– VISUAL: visual warning. While driving, a
warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side where a vehicle is detected.
– VISUAL and AUDIBLE: visual and audible
warning. While driving, a warning lamp appears
in the door mirror on the side in question. If the
direction indicator is activated on the side where
the vehicle is detected, an audible warning will
sound.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The status of the system remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Reverse gear

The system assists the driver during their
manoeuvres in reverse (e.g. exit from a parking
space).
It detects vehicles arriving to the left or right of
the vehicle at a speed of between approximately
1 and 22 mph (1 and 35 km/h).
When a vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
comes on in the mirror on the side in question,
supplemented by an audible warning.
Trailer detection
The system detects the presence and length of a
trailer. The vehicle detection area in blind spots
is extended by the length of the trailer.
The trailer detection mode is set via the MODE button.
For more information on Vehicle configuration
(MODE), refer to the corresponding section.
Two modes are available:
– Max: for a trailer length greater than 9 metres.

86
Driving
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert
in the form of micro-braking can be given,
confirming the risk of collision.
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:
the level 1 alert 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 the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts 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
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 3 mph and 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about 10 seconds) once the function is acting on the vehicle's brakes.
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.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message
and an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Audible rear parking
sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


If fitted to your vehicle, the system consists of 4
proximity sensors installed in the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle, e.g. person, vehicle,
tree, barrier, which is behind the vehicle while
manoeuvring.
Certain types of obstacle detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no longer be
detected at the end of manoeuvre if they are
located in the blind spots between and under the
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
The rear parking sensors may be associated
with the reversing camera.
Switching on
► Engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
