►
 
Accelerate gradually in order to release the 
electric parking brake (if it is set to automatic 
mode).
The vehicle moves off immediately
.
If P is displayed on the instrument panel 
but the selector is in another position, 
place the selector in position  P to allow the 
engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while 
driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then 
select position  D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle with 
the brakes released, if position  R, D or M 
is selected, the vehicle moves even without 
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle 
without taking your key or remote control with 
you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the 
engine running, apply the parking brake and 
select position  P.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to 
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position  D for automatic 
changing of the 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.   

144
Driving
► For maximum acceleration without 
touching the selector , fully depress the 
accelerator pedal (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.
Temporary manual control 
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear 
changing using the " +" et "-” steering-mounted 
controls. The gear change request will be 
executed if the engine speed permits. 
This function allows you to anticipate certain 
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or 
approaching a bend in the road. 
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control 
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic 
operation.
Creeping (moving without 
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the 
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic 
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released 
and position  D, M or R selected, the vehicle 
moves
  as soon as you take your foot off 
the brake pedal (even without pressing the 
accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the  vehicle with the engine running and the 
doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position  D , press 
button M to enable 6- or 8-speed 
sequential
  gear changing.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.
►
 
Operate the "
 +" or "-" steering mounted 
controls. 
M appears and the engaged gears are 
shown in succession on the instrument 
panel.
►
 
Y
ou can revert to automatic operation at any 
time by pressing button  M again.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, there is no need to 
release the accelerator pedal while 
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one 
gear to another if the vehicle speed and 
engine speed permit.
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.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very 
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending  a steep incline, use engine braking to 
reduce your speed (change down or select a 
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed 
continuously for long periods can overheat 
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the 
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow 
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration 
(e.g. mountainous road), manual 
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be 
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.   

145
Driving
6Invalid value during manual 
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between 
two positions).
►
 
Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position 
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise 
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode 
(with electric parking brake).
Check that mode
  P has been engaged and that 
the electric parking brake has been applied 
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the 
selector and the electric parking brake control 
lever must be on, as well as those on the 
instrument panel.
A point of resistance may be noticed  when moving to position  P.
If the 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 drive selector to position  P
; 
the audible signal stops and the message 
disappears.
When 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 it 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.   

146
Driving
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)
Regenerative braking (the button lights up to 
indicate its activation).
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 (regenerative braking 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 
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 status of the function 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:
 
 
 
 
► Press the control to display the modes on the 
instrument panel, and depending on version, on 
the screen with 3D Connected Navigation.   

147
Driving
6When starting the vehicle, no mode can be 
selected until the READY indicator lamp is 
displayed.
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 stationary (e.g.
  red 
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically 
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver 
indicates the intention of moving 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.
