Locking the rear
differential
When the rear differential is locked, torque is
transmitted to both rear wheels equally, thereby
improving the vehicle's traction.
Locking the rear differential is especially useful
when the rear wheels are skidding (in a ditch or
on a slippery road, for example).
Operating conditions
The differential lock is activated manually (speed
below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)).
The vehicle's wheels must not be skidding (wait
until they have stopped).
Activation/Deactivation



► To activate the system, at a speed below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), press this button.
The differential locking request is confirmed by this indicator lamp flashing
on the instrument panel.

As soon as the locking is active, the
indicator

lamp comes on fixed on the instrument
panel.
To manoeuvre the vehicle when the wheels are
skidding, slightly turn the steering wheel when
the vehicle is moving.
If the indicator lamp continues to flash,
turn the steering wheel to the right and to
the left while accelerating and decelerating to
engage the lock.
If the indicator
lamp is still flashing, contact a

4-wheel drive
transmission selector
Manual selector for choosing the most suitable
transmission mode according to the different
driving conditions encountered (low grip, for
example).
Operation





2H mode: 2-wheel drive at high speed
(standard mode)
Mode suitable for normal driving on dry roads
with hard surface; provides economical, quiet
driving and reduces tyre wear.
4H mode: 4-wheel drive at high speed
Mode to be used only for driving on tracks where
the wheels may slip (off-road or on icy, snowy roads, for example); provides stronger grip than
the 2-wheel drive transmission
mode (2H mode).
4L mode: 4-wheel drive at low speed
Mode to be used for maximum power and
traction; allows you to climb or descend steep
off-road slopes and benefits from maximum
traction (in sand, mud or in a thick layer of snow,
for example).

driver releases the brake pedal:
–

If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual
gearbox.
–


If mode
D or +/- is used on an automatic
gearbox.


Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when the driver releases the
brake pedal.
While the vehicle is being held, a
message is displayed on the instrument
panel to indicate that the function has been
activated while facing uphill or downhill.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
The system is only active on vehicles equipped with a manual gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
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
.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, 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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m

79
Driving
6the 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 monthly
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.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message.




If a fault is detected in one or more tyres, the
symbol displayed on the instrument panel will
identify them.
►
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.
►

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, replace the
punctured wheel with the spare wheel.
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the tyre/tyres
concerned is/are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Reinitialisation
The system is automatically reinitialised when
the vehicle is in motion.
If the alert is maintained, make sure that
the pressure of the 4 tyres complies with
the values written on the tyre pressure label.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.

Driving
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the grille area
in front of the camera is dirty, covered with
snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a grille replacement, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the
operation of the associated driving aids may
be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g.
lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

displayed speed setting flashes.
►

Release the accelerator pedal to return to
below the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
If necessary, use the brakes to control the
speed of your vehicle.
Switching off
► Press button 1 (OFF): speed limiter
information is no longer displayed.
Overspeed alert at 75
mph (120 km/h)
(Depending on country of sale)
The overspeed alert system triggers an alert as
soon as it detects that the speed is greater than
75 mph (120 km/h).
This warning lamp flashes on the
instrument panel accompanied by an
audible signal.
The alert is maintained as long as the speed of
the vehicle is above 75 mph (120 km/h).
The overspeed alert system cannot be deactivated.
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
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
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
