Electronic engine 
immobiliser
All of the keys contain an electronic immobiliser 
device.
This device locks the engine supply system. 
It is activated automatically when the key is 
removed from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a 
dialogue is set up between the key and the 
electronic immobiliser.
The metal part of the key must be correctly 
unfolded to ensure a good connection.
In case of lost keys
See a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle 
registration certificate and your ID.
A PEUGEOT dealer can retrieve the key 
code and the transponder code to order the 
replacement key.
When you leave the vehicle, check that the 
lamps are off and do not leave valuables 
visible.
As a safety precaution (with children on 
board), remove the key from the ignition when 
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
Parking brake
Application
F Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
F
 
C
 heck that the parking brake is applied 
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
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. Apply the parking brake only when the 
vehicle is stationary
.
In the exceptional case of use of the 
parking brake when the vehicle is moving, 
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid 
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).
Release
F Pull the lever up slightly and press the  button to release the parking brake lever.
When the vehicle is being driven, this 
warning lamp coming on indicates 
that the parking brake is still on or 
has not been fully released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always press the clutch 
pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedal:
-
 
e
 nsure that the mat is positioned and 
secured to the floor correctly,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, 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.

Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by 
recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is active 
only in manual mode.The information appears in the instrument 
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be 
accompanied by a recommended gear.
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 suggests:
-
 e
ngaging first gear,
-
 enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine 
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during 
stops in the 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel comes on and the 
engine goes into standby:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox , at a speed below 
12
 
mph (20   km/h) (depending on version), 
when you move the gear lever into neutral 
and release the clutch pedal.
-
 
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox , 
when stationary or at a speed below 5
  mph 
(8
 
km/h), when you press the brake pedal or 
move the gear selector into position N .
If your vehicle is so equipped, a time counter 
calculates the total time spent in STOP mode 
during a journey. It is reset to zero every time 
the ignition is switched on using the key.
Depending on the driving situation and your 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise 
you to skip one (or several) gear(s). You can 
follow this instruction without engaging the 
intermediate gears.
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. The driver 
remains responsible for deciding whether or not 
to follow this advice.
This function cannot be deactivated. 
Driving  

109
With a 6 -speed electronic gearbox, for 
your convenience when parking, the 
STOP mode is not available for the few 
seconds that follow disengagement of 
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect 
the vehicle's functions, such as, for 
example, braking, power steering, etc.
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 vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or 
downhill),
-
 
t
 he driver's door is open,
-
 
t
 he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
 
t
 he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph 
(10
  km/h) since the last engine start using 
t h e key,
-
 
t
 he engine is needed to maintain a 
comfortable temperature in the passenger 
compartment,
-
 
d
 emisting is on, -
 s
ome special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature, etc.) are present 
which require the engine to be running to 
assure control of the system.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator 
lamp flashes for a few seconds then 
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp goes off 
and the engine restarts:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox , when you fully 
press the clutch pedal,
-
 
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox
•
 
g
ear lever in position A or M , when you 
release the brake pedal,
•
 
o
r gear lever in position N and the brake 
pedal released, when you move the gear 
selector to position A or M ,
•
 o
r when you engage reverse gear. With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if 
a gear is engaged without fully pressing 
the clutch pedal, a message is displayed 
asking you to press the clutch pedal to 
restart the engine.
Special cases: START mode 
activated automatically
As a safety measure or to maintain comfort 
levels in the vehicle, START mode is activated 
automatically when:
-
 y
ou open the driver's door,
-
 y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
 
t
 he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16   mph 
(25
  km/h) with a manual gearbox or 7   mph 
(11
  km/h) with an electronic 6 -speed 
gearbox,
-
 s
ome special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature, etc.) are present 
which require the engine to be running to 
assure control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator 
lamp flashes for a few seconds then 
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

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:
-
 
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 in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with 
the engine running, apply the parking 
brake manually then ensure that the 
parking brake warning 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.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, 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.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or 
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the 
system automatically applies the brakes to 
avoid a collision.
You are then warned by the display of a 
message.
Your vehicle's brake lamps come on to warn 
other road users.The collision can be avoided if the speed 
difference between your vehicle and 
the one ahead is not more than 9
  mph 
(15
 
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do 
what is possible to avoid or reduce the 
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can bring the vehicle to 
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary 
temporarily (for about 1.5
  seconds) to allow 
the driver to take back control by pressing the 
brake pedal.
Unless the driver presses the clutch 
quickly enough during automatic braking, 
triggering of the system may cause the 
engine to stall. During automatic braking, the driver can 
always obtain a higher rate of deceleration 
than that controlled by the system, by 
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is 
automatically put out of ser vice: it no 
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system 
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are 
stationary or moving in the same direction as 
your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles, 
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor 
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or will be interrupted 
if the driver:
-
 
a
 ccelerates hard
-
 
o
 r turns the steering wheel sharply 
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult 
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail, 
etc.), braking distances increase, which 
may reduce the system’s ability to avoid a 
collision.
The driver must therefore remain 
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet 
or any object beyond the bonnet or the 
front of the roof: this could enter the 
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct 
detection.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition 
on.
Its status is stored when the ignition is switched off.
When the system is deactivated, a 
message is displayed every time the 
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line 
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
Top them up if necessary, unless other wise 
indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. If you have to remove/refit the engine 
cover, handle it with care to avoid 
damaging the fixing clips.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or 
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health 
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in 
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Oil level
It is recommended that you check the oil every 
3,000
  miles (5,000   km) and that you top it up 
between two oil changes, if necessary.
Check the level with the vehicle level, engine 
cold, using the dipstick.

If this mark is not reached, top up the level 
through the oil filler cap, using the type of oil 
approved for your engine.
Never allow the level to fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability of engines and 
emission control systems, the use of additives 
in engine oil is prohibited.
