order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed 
by illumination of this warning lamp, an

The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, the following 
recommendations should be followed:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning 
lamp will stay on for a longer period after 
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off 
before starting.
–
 
In  very severe wintry 
conditions
 
(temperature below -23   °C), to 
ensure correct operation and durability of your 
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine 
and gearbox),  leave the engine running for 
4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.

6In the event of a battery failure, the 
electric parking brake will not operate. 
As a safety measure, with a manual gearbox, 
if the parking brake is not applied, immobilise 
the vehicle by engaging a gear.
As a safety measure, with an automatic 
gearbox or drive selector, if the parking brake 
is not applied, immobilise the vehicle by 
placing the supplied chock against one of the 
wheels.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
 
 
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the 
parking brake is applied: the parking 
brake indicator lamps on the instrument panel 
and the control must be on fixed.
If the parking brake is not applied, there is an 
audible signal and a message is displayed on 
opening the driver's door.
Never leave a child alone inside the 
vehicle, as they could release the parking 
brake.
When the vehicle is parked: on a

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel 
consumption by recommending the most suitable 
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
the vehicle's equipment, the system may 
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are 
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the 
configuration of the road, the traffic density and 
safety remain determining factors when choosing 
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow 
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a 
manual gearbox, the system may suggest 
shifting into neutral ( N is displayed on the 
instrument panel) so that the engine can go into 
standby (STOP mode of Stop & Start), in certain 
driving conditions.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the  instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or 
"down" arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change  instructions according to the driving 
conditions (e.g.
  slope, load) and driving style 
(e.g.
  power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–
 
engaging first gear
 .
–
 
engaging reverse gear
