Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby
au
tomatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox ,
at speeds below
1
2 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(
with PureTech 130, THP 165 and
B
lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
y
ou place the gear lever in neutral, and you
r
elease the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
pedal or place the gear selector lever
a
t position N . Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the START/STOP button.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
The
Stop & Start system does not affect
t
he functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start using
t
he START/STOP button,
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or
be
ing
a
pplied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is selected,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
a
mbient temperature...) where the engine is
n
eeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
for
urban
use,
the

Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between your vehicle and the one in front to be maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located at the front of the vehicle, this system
d
etects a vehicle running in front of your
v
ehicle.
It
automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
t
o that of the vehicle in front.
If
the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
t
he system progressively reduces the speed of
y
our vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
d
river had pressed the "-"
button).
If
your vehicle is too close to or approaching
t
oo quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
c
ruise control is automatically deactivated.
T
he driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
a
ccompanied by a message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and "standard" cruise control is done in the Driving
menu.
F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the "Driving
assistance " tab, then "Dynamic cruise
control"
to activate or deactivate the
d
ynamic cruise control.
For
more information on the Cruise
control ,
refer to the corresponding
s
ection.F
P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel
at "CRUISE". If
the vehicle in front accelerates or changes l
ane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
a
ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
s
peed.
If
the driver operates a direction indicator
t
o the left (left hand drive) or the right (right
h
and drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the
d
ynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to
t
emporarily approach the vehicle in front to
a
ssist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
e
xceeding the programmed speed.
Driving
Page 161 of 523

The dynamic cruise control is switched on
m anually: it requires that the speed of the
v
ehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
1
50 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear or higher with a manual
g
earbox,
-
s
econd gear or higher with an automatic
g
earbox in manual mode,
-
p
osition D with an automatic gearbox.
The
system remains active after changing gear
o
n vehicles with a manual gearbox and
Stop
& Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
m anually o r a utomatically:
-
b
y pressing button 4,
-
b
y pressing the brake pedal,
-
i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
s
afety reasons,
-
i
n the event of operation of the electric
p
arking brake control lever,
-
w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
r
eached (calculated according to the
r
elative speeds of your vehicle and the
v
ehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
se
tting
c
hosen),
-
w
hen the distance between your vehicle
a
nd the one in front becomes too small,
-
w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
l
ow,
-
w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
t
oo low.
The
dynamic
cruise
control
cannot
in
any
c
ircumstances
replace
the

n
or
t
he

igilance
o
n
the
part
of
the
driver.
It
is
recommended
that
you
always
keep
y
our
feet
close
to
the
pedals.
If
the
speed
setting
selected
is
above
9
0
mph
(150
km/h),
the
system
switches
t
o
standard
cruise
control
operation,
w
ith
no
adjustment
of
the
inter-vehicle
s
afe
distance
(a
message
appears
in
t
he
instrument
panel). The
inter-vehicle time setting is kept in
m
emory on switching off the ignition.
The
dynamic
cruise
control
operates
by
d
ay
and
at
night,
in
fog
or
in
moderate
r
ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking s ystem, but works only with engine braking.
The
regulation range is limited: there will
n
o longer be any adjustment of speed if the
d
ifference between the programmed speed
s
etting and the speed of the vehicle in front
b
ecomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the
s
peed of the vehicle in front is too
g
reat, the speed cannot be adjusted:
t
he cruise control is automatically
d
eactivated.

Detection
of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
t
he system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection
of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
v
ehicle's cruise speed setting.
The
system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
t
he vehicle in front so as to maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The
regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
b
etween the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When
the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 mph
(
30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting, to signal that
a
utomatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control
paused" If
the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and
i
n the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator,
c
hange of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically
pa
used.
The
display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
Driving situations and associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and the messages displayed for the different driving situations.
T he display of these alerts is not sequential.

When the dynamic cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be
r
eactivated when safe conditions are
r
estored. The message "Activation
n
ot possible, conditions unsuitable"
i
s displayed while reactivation is not
p
ossible.
When
the conditions allow, it is
r
ecommended that the system be
r
eactivated by pressing button 2 or 3,
which
will make the current speed of
y
our vehicle the new cruise speed
s
etting, rather than by pressing button 4
(on/pause)
which reactivates the system
u
sing the old cruise speed setting,
w
hich may be very different from the
c
urrent speed of your vehicle. The
dynamic cruise control uses only engine b
raking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
v
ehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
t
he accelerator pedal.
The
system is paused automatically:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
o
r too suddenly, and the driver does not
b
rake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
a
nd the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
e
nough to continue to maintain a safe
d
istance, for example when descending a
s
teep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
The
cruise control does not take account of:
-
s
tationary vehicles,
-
v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
-
v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
m
otorcycles, for example,
-
v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lan
e,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The
regulation
range
is
limited
to
a
maximum
d
ifference
of
20
mph
(30
km/h)
between
