For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, 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 for
example, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.A time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.
Advice
Special casesAs a safety measure and for your comfort,
START mode is invoked automatically when:
-
you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Hill start assist
Operation
On an ascending slope with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily
when you release the brake pedal.
With a manual gearbox*, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.
With an electronic gearbox, if you are in
position A .
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in
position D .
Operation
This system helps you move off on a slope, by
holding your vehicle for around 2 seconds, the
time to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal. No one should leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel.
Service
The fixed illumination of these warning lamps
indicates a fault with the system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The hill start assist system is active when:
-
your foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- the driver’s door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.

208_en_Chap05_conduite_ed01-2015
Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles. If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
- check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
- deactivate the Stop & Start system,
- drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
