SAFETY

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS 

 

 

The incorrect installation of a child 

seat in a vehicle compromises the 

child's protection in the event of an ac-

cident. 

 When installing a child seat using the 

seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is 

tightened correctly on the child seat 

and that it secures the child seat fi rmly 

on the vehicle's seat. 

 Remember to fasten the seat belts or 

the child seat harnesses  

keeping    the 

slack  in relation to the child's body  to 

a minimum , even for short journeys. 

 For optimum installation of the "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that 

the back of the child seat is as close 

as possible to the backrest of the vehi-

cle's seat, even in contact if possible. 

  Children at the front 
 The legislation on carrying children on 

a  front  passenger  seat  is  specifi c  to 

each country. Refer to the legislation 

in force in your country. 

 

Deactivate the passenger airbag 

when a "rearward facing" child seat is 

installed on the front seat. Otherwise, 

the child would risk being seriously 

injured or killed if the airbag were to 

infl ate.  

  As a safety precaution, do not leave: 

   -   one or more children alone and 

unsupervised in a vehicle, 

  -   a child or an animal in a vehicle 

which is exposed to the sun, with 

the windows closed, 

  -   the keys within reach of children 

inside  the  vehicle.    

  Installation of a booster seat 
 The chest part of the seat belt must 

be positioned on the child's shoulder 

without touching the neck. 

 Ensure that the lap part of the seat 

belt passes correctly over the child's 

thighs. 

 

PEUGEOT recommends the use of 

a  booster  seat  which  has  a  back,  fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder 

level.  

   Do not use the passenger's "AIRWAVE" 

system if a child seat is installed on the 

front  seat.

      Pull the parking brake lever fully up 

to immobilise your vehicle.   

 When the vehicle is being driv-

en, if this warning lamp and the 

 

STOP  warning lamp come on, 

accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and a message on the multifunction 

screen, this indicates that the parking 

brake is still on or has not been properly 

released. 

  Releasing 
      Pull the parking brake lever gently, 

press the release button then lower 

the lever fully.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR 

 System which reduces fuel consump-

tion by advising the driver to change up. 

  Operation 

 Depending on the driving situation and 

your vehicle's equipment, the system 

may advise you to skip one (or more) 

gear(s). You can follow this instruc-

tion without engaging the intermediate 

gears. 

 

The gear engagement recommenda-

tions must not be considered compulso-

ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road, 

the  amount  of  traffi c  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 instru-

ment 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, ac-

celeration, braking, ...). 

 The system never suggests: 

   -   engaging fi rst gear, 

  -  

engaging  reverse  gear, 

  -  

engaging  a  lower  gear.    

  Example: 

   -  

You  are  in  third  gear. 

  -   You press the accelerator pedal. 

  -   The system may suggest that you 

engage a higher gear.  

 

 

 

With an automatic gearbox, the 

system is only active in manual 

mode.   

   On  vehicle  fi tted  with  a  manual 

gearbox, the arrow may be ac-

companied by the gear recom-

mended.

N  is engaged inadver-

tently while driving, allow the en-

gine to return to idle then engage 

position  

D   to  accelerate.  

  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-

operate in manual mode. 

  Invalid value during manual 

operation 

 This symbol is displayed if a 

gear is not engaged correctly 

(selector between two posi-

tions).   

  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 lever from posi-

tion  

P  to another position when 

the battery is fl at.  

 To reduce fuel consumption during 

a long period stationary with the 

engine  running  (traffi c  jam,  etc.), 

place the gear lever in position  

N  

and apply the parking brake.   

 

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, there is 

an audible signal is heard accom-

panied by a message. 

      Return the lever to position  

P ; 

the audible signal stops and the 

message  disappears.   

 When the ignition is on, the il-

lumination of this warning lamp, 

accompanied by an audible 

signal and a message in the 

screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. 

 

In this case, the gearbox switches 

to emergency 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 a speed of 60 mph 

(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-

mitting. 

 Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 

or a qualifi ed workshop. 

 This warning lamp may also come on if 

a door is opened.

STOP & START 

 The Stop & Start system puts the en-

gine temporarily into standby - STOP 

mode  -  during  stops  in  the  traffi c  (red 

lights,  traffi c  jams,  etc...).  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, ex-

haust emissions and the noise level 

when stationary. 

  Operation 

  Going into engine STOP mode 

 The   

"ECO"  warning lamp comes 

on in the instrument panel and the 

engine goes into standby: 

   -  

 

with a manual gearbox , at speeds 

below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you 

put the gear lever into neutral, and 

you release the clutch pedal.  

 If  your  vehicle  is  fi tted  with 

it, a time counter calculates 

the sum of the periods in 

STOP mode during a jour-

ney. It rests itself to zero ev-

ery time the ignition is switched on with 

the key. 

 

For your comfort when parking, 

STOP mode is not available for a 

few seconds after coming out of 

reverse gear. 

 

STOP mode does not affect the 

functionality of the vehicle, such 

as braking, power steering, for ex-

ample. 

 

Never refuel with the engine in 

STOP mode; you must switch off 

the ignition with the key.  

  Special cases: STOP mode 

unavailable 
 STOP mode is not invoked when: 

   -  

the  driver's  door  is  open, 

  -   the driver's seat belt is not fastened, 

  -   the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph 

(10 km/h) since the last engine start 

using the key, 

  -   the engine is needed to maintain a 

comfortable temperature in the pas-

senger compartment, 

  -  

demisting  is  active, 

  -  

some  special  conditions  (battery 

charge, engine temperature, brak-

ing assistance, ambient tempera-

ture...) where the engine is needed 

to assure control of a system.  

 The   

"ECO"  warning lamp fl ash-

es for a few seconds, then goes 

off. 

  

This operation is perfectly normal.   

   In STOP mode of Stop & Start, the 

"AIRWAVE" system stops working.

   -  

 

with a manual gearbox , when you 

 

fully  depress the clutch pedal.  

  Special cases: START invoked 

automatically 
 

For your safety and comfort, START 

mode is invoked automatically when: 

   -  

you  open  the  driver's  door, 

  -   you unfasten the driver's seat belt, 

  -   the speed of the vehicle exceeds 

15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual 

gearbox, 

  -  

some  special  conditions  (battery 

charge, engine temperature, brak-

ing assistance, ambient tempera-

ture...) where the engine is needed 

to assure control of a system.  

 The   

"ECO"  warning lamp fl ash-

es, then goes off. 

  

This operation is perfectly normal.    

  Deactivation 

 If the system has been deactivated 

in STOP mode, the engine restarts 

immediately.  

 

At any time, press the  

"ECO 

OFF"  switch to deactivate the system. 

 This  is  confi rmed  by  the  switch  warn-

ing lamp coming on accompanied by a 

message in the screen. 

  Reactivation 

 Press the  

"ECO OFF"  switch again. 

 The system is active again; this is con-

fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-

ing off, accompanied by a message in 

the screen. 

 

The system is reactivated auto-

matically at every new start using 

the  key.  

 With a manual gearbox in STOP 

mode, if a gear is engaged without 

fully depressing the clutch pedal, a 

message is displayed asking you 

to depress the clutch pedal to re-

start the engine.

  Operating  fault 

 In the event of a malfunction with the 

system, the  

"ECO OFF"  switch warning 

lamp  fl ashes,  then  comes  on  continu-

ously. 

 Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 

or a qualifi ed workshop. 

 In the event of a fault in STOP mode, 

the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-

sary to switch off the ignition and start 

the engine again using the key.  

  Maintenance 

 Before working under the bonnet, 

deactivate the Stop & Start system 

to avoid any risk of injury result-

ing from automatic operation of 

START mode. 

 This system requires a battery with a 

special  specifi cation  and  technology 

(reference numbers available from a 

PEUGEOT  dealer  or  a  qualifi ed  work-

shop). 

 

Fitting a battery not listed by 

PEUGEOT introduces the risk of mal-

function of the system. 

 The Stop & Start system makes 

use of advanced technology. All 

work on this battery must be done 

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION 

DETECTION  

 

A pressure sensor is located in the 

valve of a each of these tyres. 

 The system triggers an alert if a drop 

in pressure is detected in one or more 

tyres.  

 

 

This system does not avoid the 

need to check the tyre pressures 

regularly and before a long journey. 

 Driving  with  under-infl ated  tyres 

adversely affects road holding, 

extends braking distances and 

causes premature tyre wear, par-

ticularly under arduous conditions 

(vehicle loaded, high speed, long 

journey).  

  System which automatically checks the 

pressures of the tyres while driving. 

 The system continuously monitors the 

pressures of the four tyres, as soon as 

the vehicle is moving. 

  The  tyre  under-infl ation  detection 

system is an aid to driving which 

does not replace the need for the 

driver to be vigilant or to drive re-

sponsibly.  

  Driving with under-infl ated tyres in-

creases fuel consumption.  

  The tyre pressures for your vehicle 

can be found on the tyre pressure 

label (see the "Identifi cation mark-

ings" section). 

 

The tyre pressures must be 

checked when the tyres cold (vehi-

cle stopped for 1 hour or after driv-

ing for less then 6 miles (10 km) at 

moderate speed). Otherwise, add 

0.3 bar to the values indicated on 

the  label.  

  Spare  wheel 
 Don't forget to also check the tyre 

pressure of the spare wheel. 

 If your vehicle has an alloy spare 

wheel, this also has a sensor. 

 If your vehicle has a steel spare 

wheel,  this  may  be  fi tted  with  a 

sensor * . Check whether a sensor 

is fi tted to a steel wheel.

accompanied by an audible signal 

and the display of a message.  

  Operating  fault 

  Under-inflation  alert 

  The loss of pressure detected does 

not always lead to visible deforma-

tion of the tyre. Do not rely on just 

a visual check.  

 

 

The alert is maintained until the 

tyre  or  tyres  concerned  is  reinfl at-

ed, repaired or replaced.   

  The  fl ashing  and  then  fi xed  il-

lumination of this warning lamp 

accompanied by the illumination 

of the service warning lamp in-

  This alert is also displayed when 

one  or  more  wheels  is  not  fi tted 

with a sensor (steel spare wheel *  

or  other  wheels  fi tted  with  winter 

tyres).  

 

 

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualifi ed  workshop  to  have  the 

system checked or, following the 

repair of a puncture, to have the 

original wheel, equipped with a 

sensor, refi tted.   

 In this case, monitoring of the tyre pres-

sures is not assured.

DRIVING

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   man-

ually: 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 ex-

ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-

celerator fi rmly. 

 

To return to the programmed speed, 

simply slow down to a speed below the 

programmed speed. 

 The programmed speed remains in the 

memory when the ignition is switched off.  

  The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-

cumstances, replace the need to re-

spect speed limits, nor can it replace 

the need for vigilance and responsi-

bility on the part of the driver.

  Programming 

      Turn wheel  

1  to the  "LIMIT"   po-

sition: the speed limiter mode is 

selected but is not switched on 

(OFF / Pause).  

 You do not have to switch the speed 

limiter on in order to set the speed. 

      Set the speed value by pressing button  

2  or  3   (e.g.: 

55 mph (90 km/h)).  

 You can then change the programmed speed using buttons  

2  

and  

3 : 

   -   by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, 

  -   by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press, 

  -   in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.  

      Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button  

4 . 

     Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button  

4 :  the 

display  confi rms  that  it  has  been  switched  off  (OFF  / 

Pause). 

     Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button  

4  

again.   

  Exceeding the programmed speed 

 Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed 

speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal 

 

fi rmly  past the  point of resistance . 

 The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes. 

 Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-

al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically 

cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.  

  Return to normal driving 

      Turn wheel  

1  to the  "0"  position: the speed limiter mode 

is  deselected.   

  Operating  fault 

 In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-

tion, the speed is cleared resulting in 

fl ashing of the dashes. 

 Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 

or a qualifi ed workshop. 

 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 pro-

grammed speed. 

 To avoid any risk of jamming of the 

pedals: 

 

 

 

  ensure that the mat is posi-

tioned correctly, 

  -   do not fi t one mat on top of an-

other.

DRIVING

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) and the en-

gagement of: 

   -   fourth gear on a manual gearbox, 

  -   second gear on an automatic gear-

box, in sequential driving 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 DSC/ASR 

systems for safety reasons. 

 It is possible to exceed the programmed 

speed temporarily by pressing the ac-

celerator pedal. 

 

To return to the programmed speed, 

simply release the accelerator pedal. 

 Switching off the ignition cancels any 

programmed speed value.  

 The controls of this system are grouped 

together on lever

sponsibility on the part of the driver. 

 You are advised to keep your feet 

near the pedals at all times.
