AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

Four-speed automatic gearbox which

offers a choice between the comfort of

fully automatic operation, enhanced by

sport and snow programmes, or manual

gear changing.

There are therefore four driving modes:

automatic operation for electronic

management of the gears by the

gearbox,

sport programme for a more dy-

namic style of driving,

snow programme to improve driv-

ing when traction is poor,

sequential

operation for manual

changing of the gears by the driver.

Moving off

 Apply the parking brake.

 Select position

P or N .

 Start the engine.

If this procedure is not followed, there is

an audible signal, accompanied by the

display of an warning message.

 With the engine running, press the

brake pedal.

 Release the parking brake.

 Select position

R , D or M .

 Gradually release the brake pedal.

The vehicle moves off immediately.

If position

N is selected inadver-

tently while driving, allow the en-

gine to return to idle then select

position

D to accelerate.

If the ambient temperature is below

-23°C, the engine should be left at

idle for four minutes, to ensure the

correct operation and life of the en-

gine and gearbox.

The gearbox then operates in auto-

adaptive mode, without any intervention

on the part of the driver. It continuously

selects the most suitable gear accord-

ing to the style of driving, the proﬁ le of

the road and the load in the vehicle.

Automatic operation



Select position

for

automatic

changing of the four gears.

 appears in the instrument

panel.

Snow programme "  "

 Press button "  ", after starting the

engine.

The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-

pery roads.

This programme improves starting and

drive when traction is poor.

S appears in the instrument

panel.

Sport programme "S"

 Press button

"S" , after starting the

engine.

The gearbox automatically favours a

dynamic style of driving.

Never select position

N while the

vehicle is moving.

Never select positions

P or R un-

less the vehicle is completely sta-

tionary.

When the engine is running at idle,

with the brakes released, if posi-

tion

R , D or M is selected, the vehicle

moves even without the accelerator

being pressed.

When the engine is running, never

leave children in the vehicle without

supervision.

When carrying out maintenance with

the engine running, apply the park-

ing brake and select position

P .

Sport and snow programmes

These two special programmes supple-

ment the automatic operation in very

speciﬁ c conditions of use.

Return to automatic operation

 At any time, press the button select-

ed again to quit the programme en-

gaged and return to auto-adaptive

mode.

For maximum acceleration without

touching the gear lever, press the accel-

erator pedal down fully (kick down). The

gearbox changes down automatically

or maintains the gear selected until the

maximum engine speed is reached.

On braking, the gearbox changes down

automatically to provide efﬁ cient engine

braking.

If you release the accelerator sharply,

the gearbox will not change to a higher

gear for safety reasons.

DRIVING

207CC_EN_CHAP07_CONDUITE_ED01-2014

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you

can engage position

P or N to place the

gearbox in neutral.

In both cases, apply the parking brake

to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

There is a risk of damage to the

gearbox:

- if you press the accelerator and

brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of

the gear lever from the

P posi-

tion to another position when

the battery is ﬂ at.

To reduce fuel consumption when

at a prolonged standstill with the

engine running (trafﬁ c jam...), put

the gear lever in the

N position and

apply the parking brake.

Manual operation



Select position

for

sequential

changing of the four gears.

 Push the lever towards the

+ sign to

change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the

- sign to

change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears

engaged appear in succes-

sion in the instrument panel.

If the engine speed is too low

or too high, the gear selected

ﬂ ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-

tual gear engaged is displayed.

It is possible to change from position

(automatic) to position

M (manual) at

any time.

When the vehicle is stationary or mov-

ing very slowly, the gearbox selects

gear

M1 automatically.

The sport and snow programmes do not

operate in manual mode.

If the lever is not in position

P ,

when the driver's door is opened or

approximately 45 seconds after the

ignition is switched off, a warning

message appears in the screen.

 Return the lever to position

P ;

the message disappears.

It is only possible to change from one

gear to another if the vehicle speed and

engine speed permit; otherwise, the

gearbox will operate temporarily in au-

tomatic mode.

Invalid value during manual

operation

This symbol is displayed if a

gear is not engaged correctly

(selector between two posi-

tions).

When the ignition is on, the

lighting of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the

multifunction screen, indicates a gear-

box fault.

In this case, the gearbox switches to

back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.

You may feel a substantial knock when

changing from

P to R and from N to R .

This will not cause any damage to the

gearbox.

Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local

speed restrictions permitting.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop as soon as possible.

When driving on ﬂ ooded roads or

when crossing a ford, proceed at

walking pace.

SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle from

exceeding the speed programmed by the

driver.

When the programmed speed limit is

reached, pressing the accelerator pedal

no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter is

switched on manu-

ally: it requires a programmed speed of at

least 20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter is

switched off by

manual operation of the control.

The programmed speed can be exceed-

ed temporarily by pressing the accelera-

tor ﬁ rmly.

To return to the programmed speed, sim-

ply slow down to a speed below the pro-

grammed speed.

The programmed speed remains in the

memory when the ignition is switched off.

CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains

the speed of the vehicle at the value

programmed by the driver, without any

action on the accelerator pedal.

The cruise control is

switched on

manually: it requires a minimum vehicle

speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as

the engaging of:

- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on an automatic gear-

box in sequential mode,

position

D on an automatic gearbox.

The cruise control is

switched off man-

ually or by pressing the brake or clutch

pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-

tem for safety reasons.

It is possible to exceed the programmed

speed temporarily by pressing the ac-

celerator pedal.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE

PARKING SENSORS

System consisting of four proximity sen-

sors, installed in the rear bumper.

It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,

tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-

cle, however, it will not be able to detect

obstacles located immediately below

the bumper.

The parking sensors are

switched on

by engaging reverse gear.

This is accompanied by an audible signal.

* According to version.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar

object may be detected at the start

of the manoeuvre but may no lon-

ger be detected when the vehicle

moves nearer to it.

When the distance between the rear of the vehi-

cle and the obstacle is less than approximately

thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears,

depending on the multifunction screen version.

The parking sensor system cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the

need for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

The parking sensors are

switched off

by moving the gear lever to neutral.

The proximity information is indicated

by:

an audible signal which becomes

more rapid as the vehicle approach-

es the obstacle,

a diagram on the multifunction

screen

, with blocks which move

closer to the vehicle.

DRIVING

207CC_EN_CHAP07_CONDUITE_ED01-2014

Deactivation / Activation of the rear

parking sensors

Operating fault

In bad weather or in winter, ensure

that the sensors are not covered

with mud, ice or snow. When re-

verse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that

the sensors may be dirty.

Certain sound sources (motorcy-

cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may

trigger the audible signals of the

parking sensor system.

In the event of a malfunction of

the system, when reverse gear is

engaged this warning lamp is dis-

played in the instrument panel and/

or a message appears in the screen, accom-

panied by an audible signal (short beep).

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed

workshop.

The status of the function is stored

when the ignition is switched off.

The function will be deactivated au-

tomatically if a trailer is being towed

or a bicycle carrier is ﬁ tted (vehicle

ﬁ tted with a towbar or bicycle car-

rier recommended by PEUGEOT).

The function is deactivated

or activated via the vehicle

conﬁ guration menu.

CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly and

top them up if necessary, unless other-

wise indicated.

If a level drops signiﬁ cantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed work-

shop.

Take care when working under the bon-

net, as some parts of the engine can be

extremely hot (risk of burns).

Engine oil level

The check is carried out either

when the ignition is switched

on using the oil level indicator

in the instrument panel for ve-

hicles with and electric oil level gauge,

or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct,

your vehicle must be parked on a level

surface and the engine having been off

for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-

tween two services (or oil changes).

PEUGEOT recommends that you check

the level, and top up if necessary, every

3 000 miles (5 000 kms).

Checking using the dipstick

Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel

engine" section for the location of the

dipstick in the engine compartment of

your vehicle.

 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip

and remove it completely.

A = MAX

B = MIN

If you ﬁ nd that the level is above the

mark or below the

B mark, do not start

the engine .

- If the level is above the

MAX mark

(risk of damage to the engine), con-

tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop.

- If the level is below the

MIN mark,

you must top up the engine oil.

Oil grade

Before topping-up the oil or changing

the oil, check that the oil is the correct

grade for your engine and conforms to

the manufacturer's recommendations.

Topping up the engine oil level

Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel

engine" section for the location of the oil

ﬁ ller cap in the engine compartment of

your vehicle.

 Unscrew the oil ﬁ ller cap to reveal

the ﬁ ller aperture.

 Add oil in small quantities, avoiding

any spills on engine components

(risk of ﬁ re).

 Wait a few minutes before checking

the level again using the dipstick.

 Add more oil if necessary.

 After checking the level, carefully re-

ﬁ t the oil ﬁ ller cap and the dipstick in

its tube.

After topping up the oil, the check when

switching on the ignition with the oil

level indicator in the instrument panel

is not valid during the 30 minutes after

topping up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the warranty and maintenance

record for details of the interval for this

operation.

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emission control system,

the use of additives in the engine oil is

prohibited.

 Wipe the end of the dipstick using a

clean non-ﬂ uffy cloth.

 Reﬁ t the dipstick and push fully

down, then pull it out again to make

the visual check: the correct level is

between the marks

A and B .

CHECKS

207CC_EN_CHAP08_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014

Coolant level

Brake fluid level

The brake ﬂ uid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is

not, check the brake pad wear.

The coolant level should be

close to the "MAX" mark but

should never exceed it.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-

ture of the coolant is regulated by the

fan. This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are ﬁ tted with a

particle emission ﬁ lter, the fan may

operate after the vehicle has been

switched off, even if the engine is

cold.

In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before carrying

out any work.

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew

the cap by two turns to allow the pres-

sure to drop. When the pressure has

dropped, remove the cap and top up the

level.

Screenwash and headlamp

wash * fluid

The minimum level of this ﬂ uid

is indicated by an audible sig-

nal and a message in the multi-

function screen.

Top up the level when you stop the ve-

hicle.

* According to country.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

The brake ﬂ uid must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

The coolant must conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

To ensure optimum cleaning and avoid

freezing, plain water should not be used

to top up or replace this ﬂ uid.

Changing the brake ﬂ uid

Refer to the warranty and maintenance

record for details of the interval for this

operation.

Avoid any prolonged contact of

used oil or ﬂ uids with the skin.

Most of these ﬂ uids are harmful to

health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or ﬂ uids

into sewers or onto the ground.

Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualiﬁ ed workshop (France) or

an authorised waste disposal site.

Diesel additive level (Diesel with

particle emission filter)

The minimum level of this additive is

indicated by illumination of the service

warning lamp, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message in the multi-

CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components as speciﬁ ed in the warranty

and maintenance record for your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed work-

shop.

Battery

The battery does not require

any maintenance.

However, check that the ter-

minals are clean and correctly

tightened, particularly in sum-

mer and winter.

When carrying out work on the battery,

refer to the "Battery" section for details

of the precautions to be taken before

disconnecting the battery and following

its reconnection.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the warranty and

maintenance record for details

of the replacement intervals

for these components.

Depending on the environ-

ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use

of the vehicle (city driving...),

replace

them twice as often if necessary .

A clogged passenger compartment ﬁ lter

may have an adverse effect on the per-

formance of the air conditioning system

and generate undesirable odours.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Illumination of the service warning lamp togeth-

er with a related message indicates the start of

saturation of the particle emissions ﬁ lter.

Oil filter

Replace the oil ﬁ lter each time

the engine oil is changed.

Refer to the warranty and main-

tenance record for details of

the replacement interval for this

component.

As soon as the driving conditions

permit, regenerate the ﬁ lter by driv-

ing at a speed of at least 35 mph

(60 km/h) until the service warning

lamp goes off.

Maintenance of the particle emis-

sion ﬁ lter must be carried out by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed

workshop.

Following prolonged operation of

the vehicle at very low speed or at

idle, you may, exceptionally, notice

the emission of water vapour at the

exhaust on acceleration. This does

not have any adverse effect on the

performance of the vehicle or on

the environment.
