Driving
and from N to R. This will not cause any damage
to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:– if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with the right
foot),
–
if you force the selector from position P
to
another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position the
selector on N and apply the parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to
skip one or more gears.
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.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel, in the form of an ascending or
descending arrow and the recommended gear.
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 suggests:
–
engaging first gear;
–
engaging reverse.
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.
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.
Deactivation/Activation
With button
► To deactivate or reactivate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is lit when the system is
deactivated.
With audio system/touch screen
The system is activated and deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
If the system has been deactivated in
STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
The system reactivates automatically whenever the engine is started by the
driver.
