"Sport" button

Operation

With the engine running, when the programme

associated with the button is activated, the

gearbox delays changing up for a more dynamic

driving style.

With the engine running, if it is necessary to

press the brake pedal and/or the Unlock button

in order to change mode, an alert message is

displayed in the instrument panel.

The programme is automatically deactivated

when the ignition is switched oﬀ.

Only appropriate attempted changes of mode

are accepted.

Activating the Sport programme or the Dynamic

pack is not recommended in the following

situations:

– Use of one of the special Advanced Grip

Control modes (other than standard mode).

– Low fuel level reached.

With the engine running and the brakes

released, if R, D or M is selected, the

vehicle moves oﬀ, even without pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Never press the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time - risk of damage

to the gearbox!

In the event of a battery failure, you must

place the chocks supplied with the vehicle

tools against one of the wheels to immobilise

the vehicle.

– Low AdBlue level reached.

► Pull the "+" or "-" paddle towards you and

release to shift up or down a gear, respectively.

Pressing this button has no eﬀect when

towing and when a trailer is connected.

the vehicle and the style of driving.

► Release the brake pedal.

► Accelerate gradually to automatically release

the electric parking brake.

► Slow down until you come to a stop.

► Depress the brake pedal, then press the

Unlock button.

► While maintaining the presses, select

mode R.

For maximum acceleration without touching the

selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-

down). The gearbox changes down automatically

or holds the selected gear until the maximum

engine speed is reached.

The steering-mounted controls allow the driver

to temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed

and engine speed conditions permit.

The vehicle moves oﬀ immediately.

In severe wintry conditions (temperature

below -23°C), it is recommended that the

engine be allowed to run for a few minutes

before moving oﬀ, to ensure correct operation

and durability of the engine and gearbox.

Manual mode

Entering the mode:

► With mode D initially selected.

► Press button M; the green indicator lamp in

the button comes on.

Exiting the mode:

► Push forwards once to return to D.

With an automatic gearbox, never try to

start the engine by pushing the vehicle.

Special aspects of manual mode

The gearbox only changes from one gear to

another if the vehicle speed and engine speed

conditions permit.

Stopping the vehicle

► Press button M; the indicator lamp in the

button goes oﬀ.

Whatever the state of the gearbox, when the

ignition is switched oﬀ, mode P is engaged

automatically and immediately.

However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged

after a delay of 5 seconds (allowing for the

process of putting the vehicle into free-wheeling

mode).

Check that mode P has been engaged and

that the electric parking brake was applied

automatically; if not, apply it manually.

The corresponding indicator lamps in the

selector and the electric parking brake

control lever must be on, as well as those in the

instrument panel.

Starting the vehicle

From mode P:

► Fully depress the brake pedal.

► Start the engine.

► Maintaining pressure on the brake pedal,

press the Unlock button.

► Push once or twice rearwards to select

the automatic mode D, or forwards to engage

reverse R.

From neutral N:

► Fully depress the brake pedal.

► Start the engine.

Switching oﬀ the ignition

To switch oﬀ the ignition, the vehicle must be

stationary.

Changing to free-wheeling

For more information on Changing to free-

wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.

If you open the driver's door while mode

N is engaged, an audible signal will

sound. It will stop when you close the driver's

door again.

► Maintaining pressure on the brake pedal,

push rearwards to select the automatic mode D,

or forwards, while pressing the Unlock button to

engage reverse R.

Gearbox malfunction

This warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal and the

display of a message.

Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),

keeping to the speed limit.

The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode D

is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted

control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no

longer available. You may feel a signiﬁcant jolt

on engaging reverse gear. This will not damage

the gearbox.

the gearbox also controls braking when

the accelerator pedal is released.

pedal to the accelerator pedal.

This system is only active when:

– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your

foot on the brake pedal.

D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.

B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with

regenerative braking function activated.

In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not

indicated.

The state of the gearbox remains displayed in

the instrument panel for a few seconds after

switching oﬀ the ignition.

– Certain slope conditions are met.

– The driver’s door is closed.

– provided you are in mode D or M with an

automatic gearbox.

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. After that, ensure that the

parking brake indicator lamp and the indicator

lamp P in the electric parking brake control

lever are on ﬁxed.

Regenerative braking

The regenerative braking function emulates

engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need

to depress the brake pedal. When the driver

releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows

down more quickly and recharges the battery.

► From mode D/B, moving the push selector

backwards activates/deactivates the function.

The D on the instrument panel is replaced with

a B.

On a descending slope, with the vehicle

stationary and reverse gear engaged, the

vehicle is held for a short time when you

release the brake pedal.

The hill start assist function cannot be

deactivated. However, use of the parking

brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its

operation.

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

Malfunction

Operation

The driver must always be ready to use

the brake pedal: in certain situations (e.g.

full battery, extreme temperatures), the

regenerative braking level may be temporarily

limited and deceleration may be reduced.

These warning lamps come on in

the event of a malfunction.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

Dynamic pack

This pack governs the following elements:

– Acoustic ambience of the engine.

– Power steering.

Hill start assist

This system keeps your vehicle brieﬂy stationary

(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
