2021 PEUGEOT EXPERT ignition

149
Driving
6When positioned on a steep slope with a
loaded vehicle, depress the brake
pedal, select position P, apply the parking
brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with
electric parking brake), then release the brake
pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears on
the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the
gearbox.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when
changing from

P

to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: – If the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed simultaneously
.
–

In the event of a battery failure, forcing the
selector from position P

to another position.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control
based on the driving style, the road profile and
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also
manages engine braking when the accelerator
pedal is released.
P. Park
Button for parking the vehicle: the front
wheels are locked (the button lights up to
indicate that it is activated).
R. Reverse
To engage reverse gear, with your foot on the
brake pedal. N.
Neutral
To move the vehicle with the ignition off and
so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
D. Drive (automatic forward gear)
B. Brake (regenerative braking)
Button for changing to Drive/automatic
forward gear mode with regenerative braking
function (the button lights up to indicate that it
is activated).
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive
selector status is displayed on the instrument
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
B : Brake (automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards
( N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice,
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
For example, to change from
P to R (with your
foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards

150
Driving
twice without passing the point of resistance or
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From mode
D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




Pressing the control displays the modes on the
instrument panel and, depending on version, on
the screen with PEUGEOT Connect Nav.
You cannot select a mode if the READY lamp
is off. When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except
Normal mode).
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when
fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in
Normal mode and when unladen.
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.
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.

Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes on the instrument
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position N and depress the
brake pedal.
►

Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST

ART/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tyre 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) 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.
The inflation pressures specified 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.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
► In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).

Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and
manoeuvring aids.


This system displays the maximum authorised
speed on the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit information from the navigation
system’s mapping.
Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Cruise control - particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons down, a very
rapid change in the speed of your vehicle may
occur.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
