temporarily taking control of
gear changes

You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "+" and "-" steering
mounted control paddles.
gear change commands are only acted on if
the engine speed allows. there is an audible
signal if a command is not accepted.
the gear engaged is displayed in the
instrument panel.
this function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a corner.
After a few moments with no action on the
controls, the gearbox returns to automatic
control of the gears.

It is possible to change mode at any time, by
moving the gear selector from position e to
position M and the other way round.

Never select neutral N when the vehicle
is moving.

F Place the gear selector in position M.
F Change up or down using:

- the gear selector, pushing:
- back,

"+" to change up,

- forward,

"-" to change down.

- or the "+" or "-" steering mounted

control paddle.

the gear engaged is displayed.
gear change commands are only acted on if
the engine speed allows.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
peal during gear changes. there is an audible
signal if a command is not accepted.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
automatically changes down so that pick-up is
in the right gear.

Manual mode

under sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up without action by the driver on
the gear selector or steering mounted control
paddles (unless the engine speed is close to
maximum).

to engage reverse, the vehicle must be
stationary with your foot on the brake pedal.
F Select position R.

Reverse

there is an audible signal on engaging reverse.

the vehicle can be stopped whatever the
position of the gear selector (N, e or R).
However, there is an audible signal on opening
the driver's door if the gear selector is not at
position N.

Switching off

When the vehicle is stopped with the
engine running, always put the gear
selector to neutral N.

there is a continuous audible signal
if you turn the ignition switch to "oFF"

qualified workshop.

operating faults

In all cases, it is essential that you
apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, check that the gear selector is
in neutral N and the parking brake is
applied.

Limits of operation

On a gradient, or when hill start assist is
activated, never hold the vehicle using the
accelerator: you could damage the clutch.
In these situations there is an audible signal.

example:
-

You are in third gear.

You press the accelerator pedal.

the system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.

Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
the gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
this function cannot be deactivated.

the information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
arrow.

the system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
the system never suggests:
-

engaging first gear,

engaging reverse gear.

With an etg electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.

With the Puretech 82 engine, the system
only suggests when to change up.

Hill start assist

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
this system only operates when:
-

the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

certain conditions of slope are met,

with the driver’s door closed.

the hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.

on an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:
-

if you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,

if you are in position e or M with an etg
electronic gearbox.

operation

on a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.

operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, this
warning lamp comes on. Contact
a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually.

Stop & Start (Vti 68 S&S engine)

operation

going into engine StoP
mode

this indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:

when stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.

Never refuel with the engine in
StOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button.

For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres StOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
the Stop & Start does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...

the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - StOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...). the engine restarts automatically -
StARt mode - as soon as you want to move
off. the restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
