Peugeot 407 2004-2011 Owner's Manual Driving

8DRIVING94 PARKING BRAKE 6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX To release Pull the lever up and press the button to release the parking brake. To apply When parking on a slope, turn the wheels towards the kerb and apply the parking brake. Reverse To change to reverse gear, lift the ring under the gear lever knob and push the gear lever to the left then to the front. Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary with the engine idling.
8DRIVING95 Gear selection gate Move the lever in the gate to select a position. The indicator lamp corresponding to the position selected appears on the instrument panel screen. P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and to start the engine, with the parking brake on. R everse: to reverse (select this posi-tion with the vehicle stationary, engine at idle). N eutral: to start the engine and to park, with the parking brake on. Note: if position N is inadvertently en-gaged while driving, allow the engine to return to idle before engaging posi-tion D then accelerate. D rive: to drive in automatic mode. M anual: to drive selecting the gears. S : sport programme. : snow programme. "PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX The four or six speed automatic gear-box offers, as required, the comfort of the auto-adaptive programme en-hanced by a selection suited to dy-namic driving conditions: sport, or to driving on a slippery road: snow. However, manual selection is still pos-sible using the gear lever. Moving Off With the engine running, move off from position P : to exit position P, you have to press the brake pedal, select position R , D or M , then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately. To move off from position N : with your foot on the brake, release the parking brake, select position R , D or M , then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately. Starting the engine with the parking brake on, select position P or N in the gate, turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if position R , D or M is selected, the ve-hicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. Do not leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle, with position R, D or M selected, with the en-gine running, as the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. With the ignition off, if the le-ver is not in position P , an audible signal is heard when the driver's door is opened, or after approximately 45 seconds. Move the lever to position P . The audible signal ceases. When maintenance operations need to be carried out with the engine run-ning, apply the parking brake and se-lect the P ark position.
8DRIVING Auto-adaptive programme select position D in the gate: the gearbox operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on your part, taking into account the follow-ing parameters: - the style of driving, - the profi le of the road, - the vehicle load. To obtain maximum acceleration with-out touching the lever, press the ac-celerator down fully (kick down). The programme will change down auto-matically or will stay in the gear select-ed until the maximum engine speed is reached. When the brake is applied, the pro-gramme will change down automati-cally in order to provide effi cient engine braking. Sport and Snow programmes These are two special programmes. The programme selected is displayed on the instrument panel screen. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit. If they do not, the vehicle will operate temporarily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or mo-ving very slowly, the gearbox automa-tically selects gear M1 . Programmes S (sport) and (snow) do not operate in manual gear selec-tion mode. Any operating abnormality is indicated by lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function screen. In this situation the gearbox oper-ates in downgrade mode (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) and keep within local speed limits. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Operating check Operation with manual selection of the gears select position M in the gate, push the lever to the + sign to change up a gear and push again to change up another gear, pull the lever to the - sign to change down a gear and pull again to change down another gear. You can change from position D (driv-ing in automatic mode) to position M(driving in manual mode) at any time. Releasing the accelerator sharply does not have any im-mediate effect on the speed of the vehicle. Never select position N when the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or Runless the vehicle is stationary. Never change between positions to optimise braking on a slippery surface. Sport programme Press button S once the vehicle has been started in position D , the auto-adaptive programme favours dynamic driving. Snow programme This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor. Press button once the vehicle has been started and position D has been selected, the auto-adaptive programme adjusts the performance of the vehicle to the condition of the slippery road. You can deactivate the Sport or Snow programme at any time by pressing the button selected. If the battery is fl at and the le-ver is in position P , it will be impossible to change to an-other position. In particular, do not force the lever or there is a risk the gearbox may be damaged.
8DRIVING97 Press switch 1 , the indi-cator lamp comes on and the SPORT warning lamp comes on. Press switch 1 again. The indicator lamp is switched off and the AUTO indicator lamp comes on. To return to automatic operation In this position, the suspension is maintained in the SPORT position. In the event of a fault , it comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen. Select automatic operation and con-tact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Operating check This is confi rmed by the switch lamp and the indicator lamps. CONTROLLED SUSPENSION Manual selection of the SPORT position The suspension adapts automatically and instantly to different driving styles and road characteristics, improving the comfort of the occupants and the vehicle's road holding capabilities. The suspension favours smooth shock ab-sorption, ensuring a comfortable ride, but as soon as conditions demand a change (sporty driving, tight bends, avoidance action, etc.) it automatically selects fi rmer shock absorption, guar-anteeing optimum road holding.
8DRIVING98 CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER Selecting the function Place switch 1 in the CRUISE po-sition. The cruise control is not yet active and no speed has been memorised. The display indicates: Switching the function off Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMIT to switch the system off. Note: It is possible to acce-lerate and drive momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. The value memorised fl ashes. When the acce-lerator pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the memorised speed. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed: Press button 4 or the brake or clutch pedal. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): Activation/memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2 or 3 . This memorises the speed, which will be maintained automatically. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): On a steep descent, the cruise control, which does not act on the brakes, is not able to pre-vent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. In no circumstances does the cruise control replace the requirement to respect speed limits, nor does it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver. We recommend that your feet remain near the pedals. Cruise control function This enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth gear engaged (second gear for the automatic gearbox), with the engine running .
8DRIVING99Note: the speed memorised is cancelled automatically if the vehicle speed is less than 25 mph (40 km/h), or if the manual gearbox is in a gear lower than fourth (second gear for the automatic gearbox) or if the ESP is activated. Operating check In the event of a cruise control malfunc-tion, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes fl ash for a few seconds: Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffi c. Changing a memorised speed To memorise a speed higher than the previous one, there are two options: Without using the accelerator: press button 3 ; Using the accelerator: exceed the memorised speed until the required speed is reached, press button 2 or 3 . To memorise a speed lower than the previous one: press button 2 ; Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h) Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h) Maintained press: continuous increase or decrease of the value in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h). Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button 4 . Your vehicle will return to the last memo-rised speed. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): Cancelling the memorised speed Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMITor switch off the ignition. To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned correctly, - never fi t one mat on top of another.
8DRIVING100 Selecting the function Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-tion. The limiter is not yet active. By default the display indicates: Switching the function off Place switch 1 in position 0 or CRUISE or switch off the ignition to switch the system off. The last speed programmed remains in the memory. Memorising a speed A speed can be memorised without activation of the limiter. Pressing buttons 2 and 3 decreases or increases the speed. Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h) Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h) Maintained press: continuous increase or decrease of the value in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h). Activation/deactivation of the limiter Pressing button 4 activates the limiter, pressing this button again deactivates it. When the limiter is active, the display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): On a steep descent or if the driver accelerates sharply, the speed limiter, which does not act on the brakes, is not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. In no circumstances does the speed limiter replace the requirement to re-spect speed limits, nor does it replace the need for vigilance and responsibi-lity on the part of the driver. The driver must remain vigilant and stay in complete control of his vehicle. The operations must be car-ried out with the engine run-ning. Speed limiter function This prevents the vehicle speed ex-ceeding the speed programmed by the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph (30 km/h)).
8DRIVING101 Exceeding the programmed speed Additional pressing of the accelera-tor to exceed the programmed speed will have no effect unless the pedal is pressed fi rmly (passing the point of resistance ). The limiter is deactivated temporarily and displays the programmed speed (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): Note: the speed also fl ashes when the speed limiter can-not prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed (on a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration). To re-activate the limiter, release the accelerator to slow down to a speed below the programmed speed. Operating check In the event of a limiter malfunction, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes fl ash for a few seconds: Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. To prevent the mat from becom-ing caught under the pedals: - ensure that the mat is po-sitioned correctly, - never fi t one mat on top of another.
8DRIVING102 TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-ing driving and trigger a warning in the event of malfunction. Defl ated tyre Instrument panel display warn-ing lamp. This is accompanied by the audible signal and the message on the mul-tifunction screen identifying the wheel concerned. If this warning lamp comes on, have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible. Puncture This warning lamp, accompanied by the audible signal and the message on the multifunction screen identifying the wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-nation of the 'STOP' warning lamp. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes. Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very defl ated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty Instrument panel screen warn-ing lamp. All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fi tted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle, you must have the system re-initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer. The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-tem is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly. This system does not eliminate the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (see the label on the door pillar) to ensure that the op-timum dynamic performance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent pre-mature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remem-ber to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-tem may experience temporary interfer-ence due to electromagnetic emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system. Note : this message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the ve-hicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fi tted. Instrument panel display warn-ing lamp. This is accompanied by the audible signal and the message on the mul-tifunction screen which indicates that under-infl ation detection is absent from one (or several) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s).
8DRIVING103 VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS To ensure optimum operation, in bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow. This system consists of proximity sensors: - four in the front bumper, and - four in the rear bumper. Detection zone The system is deactivated if the vehicle is stationary for more than 3 seconds. Detection The system is activated when: - reverse gear is engaged, - the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear. It is accompanied by an audible signal and/or displaying of the vehicle on the multifunction screen. It detects any obstacle (person, ve-hicle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-hind the vehicle. However, it cannot detect obstacles located directly under the bumper. An object, such as a stake, cone or any other similar object may be detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre but may no longer be detected when the vehicle comes close to it.
8DRIVING104 Deactivation Press button A to deactivate the sys-tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-dicator lamp on the button comes on. Note: this function will be de-activated automatically when a trailer is being towed (vehi-cle fi tted with a towbar recom-mended by PEUGEOT). If there is an operating fault, when reverse gear is en-gaged, the indicator lamp fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen. Reactivation Press button A again to reactivate the system. The indicator lamp on the but-ton is switched off. The proximity of the obstacle is indi-cated by: - an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle ap-proaches the obstacle, - a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which become increasingly close to the vehicle. The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers; that is, front or rear and right or left. When the distance between the ve-hicle and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears on the multifunction screen. The system becomes inactive again: - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h), - at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds (front parking sensors only).
