Driving
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.
For electric versions
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
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp
in the electric parking brake control are on
fixed.
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
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.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Kick-down
In Normal and Eco modes, it is always
possible to obtain maximum torque and
power by depressing the accelerator pedal
fully.
Gear shift indicator
Operation
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most
suitable gear.
Sport
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with a drive selector and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
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 6 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.
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, the
vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
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.
► If mode D, M or B is selected on an
automatic gearbox.
The system is only active when:
The system cannot be deactivated.
► The vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
► Certain slope conditions are met.
► The driver’s door is closed.
