or approximately 45 seconds af-
ter the ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), posi-
tion the gear lever at N

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights,
traffi c jams, or other...). The engine re-
starts automatically - START mode - as
soon as you want to move off. The re-
start takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


-
with the electronic gearbox system
,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position N
.

If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey.
It rests itself to zero every time the igni-
tion is switched on with the key.
For your comfort, during park-
ing maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few sec-
onds after coming out of reverse
gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality 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.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied
or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

-
some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

D
R
165

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with the
electronic gearbox
system
:


- gear lever in position A
or M
, release
the brake pedal,

- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,

- or engage reverse gear.

In this case the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,
then goes off.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically

This operation is perfectly normal.


Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.

If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the en-
gine restarts immediately.
START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the electronic
gearbox system,

- the electric parking brake is being
applied,

-
some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed for control of a system.

166
Reactivation


The system is reactivated au-
tomatically at every new start
using the key.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of START mode.

The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the
system go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment re-
quired, which a PEUGEOT dealer is
able to provide.


Maintenance

This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and technol-
ogy (reference numbers available from
PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V char-
ger and observe the polarity. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning lamp
going off and a message in the screen.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONTAND/OR REAR PARKING
SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper. The parking sensors are switched on
:


- by engaging reverse gear,

- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and display of the vehicle in the mul-
tifunction screen.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other
similar object may be detected
at the start of the manoeuvre but may
no longer be detected when the ve-
hicle moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated by:


- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,

- a graphic in the multifunction screen,
with blocks which move closer to the
vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version.

The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver. The parking sensors are switched off
:


- when you exit reverse gear,

- when the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear,

- when the vehicle has been station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
Deactivation
Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a
trailer is being towed or when
a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi t-
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).

Reactivation


)
Press button A
again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.


)
Press button A
, the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals.
If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.
