Driving
6Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic changing of
the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear according to the driving style, the road
profile and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, press the accelerator fully down (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.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Manual operation
To limit fuel consumption during an extended standstill with the engine
running (for example, in a traffic jam), set the
gear selector to N and apply the parking
brake.
► Selecting position +/- enables sequential
shifting between the six gears.
►

T
o shift up/down through the gears, push the
control forwards/backwards.
The gearbox only changes gear if the vehicle
speed and engine speed conditions allow;
otherwise, the rules for automatic operation are
temporarily applied.
D disappears, and the gears engaged appear in
succession on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the
gear actually engaged is shown.
It is possible to change from position D to
position +/-
at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox selects gear 1 automatically.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not
engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, it is possible to
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
If the gear selector is not in position P,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
►

Return the gear selector to P

; the audible
signal stops and the message disappears.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on and a message is
displayed, when the ignition is switched on.
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 for the gearbox) while
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
pressed simultaneously
.
–

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

to another position.

deactivated when the ignition is switched
off.
Hill start assist
System which briefly keeps the vehicle stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It 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. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp is on fixed on the
instrument panel.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Operation

Facing uphill, 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

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. The road layout, traffic
density and safety remain decisive factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the guidance issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The system is only active on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
inputs (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear;
–


engaging reverse gear
.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system 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.
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.

The vehicle has several cameras:
– At the front, fitted in the grille.
–

At the rear
, near the tailgate opening control.
–

Under each door mirror
.
With the engine running, these cameras allow
views of the vehicle’s close surroundings to be
displayed on the touch screen:
–

V
iews from the rear (rear vision), with reverse
gear engaged.
–

V
iews of the front (forward vision), with the
gearbox in neutral or a gear engaged.
–

Side views (door mirror vision), with the
direction indicators activated or obstacle
detection.




The screen is divided into 2 parts: on the
left, a view from above the vehicle in its close
surroundings; on the right, a contextual view as
well as a 3-dimensional view representing the
vehicle’s close surroundings.
A dynamic projection of the vehicle trajectory
(vehicle outline and position of the wheels) is
displayed on the front and rear contextual views
and the view from above.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
–

front view
,
–

rear view
,
–

right-hand mirror view
,
–

left-hand mirror view
,
–

“Split” front view
,
–

auto zoom view
,
– 3-dimensional view .
When the cameras are activated, a
symbol appears at the top of the
contextual view to indicate their positions on
the vehicle and the displayed area.
Opening the front doors or the tailgate, or
folding the mirrors may disturb the
display.
By default, 2D views mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information transmitted by the parking sensors.
You can change the display mode at any time
during the manoeuvre:
–

"2D views",
–

"3D views".
Operating principle

Using the front and rear cameras as well as the
mirror cameras, the vehicle’s close surroundings
are recorded during low speed manoeuvres.

84
Driving
The guiding line 1 (in red) represents the end of
the bumper.
From the bumper, the thin orange guiding lines
2 represent the width of the vehicle, with
the mirrors unfolded and the wide orange
guiding lines 3 represent the trajectory of the
vehicle.
Lines 2 and 3 are oriented according to the
position of the steering wheel.
The system is deactivated:
– Automatically above about 19 mph (30 km/h)
(the image disappears temporarily from 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
– By pressing the function activation button
again.
Door mirror views

The door mirror views make it possible to
visualise the areas located under each mirror as
well as all of the front lateral sides of the vehicle
in order to manoeuvre the vehicle with the
surrounding obstacles.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Activation
Automatic activation (speed below 17 mph

Practical information
► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it and
place it on its support (on the filler flap).
► Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as far
as possible before starting to refuel (to minimise
the risk of splashing).
Do not continue after the nozzle’s third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right.
► Close the fuel filler flap.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel before
starting the engine.
Depending on version, the vehicle is fitted with
a catalytic converter, which helps to reduce the
level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable load
Recommended fuel
The vehicle complies with Euro 1, Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards.
The petrol engines are compatible with 92 RON
minimum unleaded fuel.
Diesel engines are compatible with type B0
fuel

not containing Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
(biofuel) and B7 and B10 type fuels conforming
to EN590 and EN16734 standards containing
respectively up to 7% and 10% of Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester.
Depending on the country of sale, the Diesel
fuel must be suited to the ambient temperature
in order to optimise engine performance and
minimise polluting emissions.
Temperature greater than Diesel quality
5°C (+41°F) N°0
-5°C (+23°F) N°-10
-10°C (+14°F) N°-20
-25°C (-13°F) N°-35
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50
% full.
At temperatures below -15
°C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 80 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 11 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel. When it first comes on, about 11 litres of
fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Refuelling
When refuelling, at least 10 litres must be added
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is normal,
caused by the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

► Pull the release control, located on the floor
on the driver's side, to open the filler flap.
►

T
ake care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).

Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to
driving wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains designed for the vehicle's wheel
type:
Tyre size Link size
245/70 R16 13 to 16
mm
265/65 R17 13 to 16
mm
265/60R18 13 to 16
mm
It is also possible to use snow socks.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.

Practical information
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.



► Pull the interior release lever, located at the
bottom of the dashboard, towards you.


► Tilt the exterior safety catch to the left and
raise the bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
* Depending on engine.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer .
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 19

mph (30 km/h) for metal
snow chains or 31 mph (50 km/h) for plastic
snow chains.
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Always use snow chains compatible with the tyre size. Chains that are the wrong
size can damage the braking system,
suspension, bodywork and wheels.
Remove the wheel trims before installing the
snow chains.
Never exceed the maximum speed limit
stated in the snow chains user guide.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 100
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 firmly.
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.
Bonnet
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
