Starting the vehicle
► With your foot on the brake pedal,
press the unlock button and select
position P
or N.
►
Start the engine.
If the conditions are not met, you will hear an
audible signal, accompanied by the display of a
message.
►
With the engine running, depress the brake
pedal.
►
Release the parking brake.
►
Select position R
, D or +/-.
►
Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately
.
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
+/- is selected, the vehicle moves off even
without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake and
select position P.
Automatic 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.

Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Sport mode
With the engine running, when
Sport
mode
is activated, the automatic gearbox delays
changing up for a more dynamic driving style.
Activating
Sport mode is not recommended in
the following situations:
–
ASR/DSC deactivated.
– Low fuel level reached.
– Rear differential locking activated.
–
4H or 4L

deactivated when the ignition is switched
off.
Hill start assist
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:
–
The vehicle is completely stationary
, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
–
Certain slope conditions are met.
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

The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, using 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 the
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
