Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed around 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a network dealer or a
qualified workshop.There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

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

i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear selector at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.) System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,...).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-
enga

ging a lower gear.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams,...).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect 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 automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or when the vehicle is
stationary with the PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox , when the
vehicle is stationary and when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear selector in
position N . If your vehicle is fitted with this
system, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It resets to
zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
STOP mode does not affect the operation
of vehicle systems such as braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not activated when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-

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 (with the
key or the "START/STOP" button),
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied, -

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
c
ertain special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) require the
engine to be running to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the " ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
The ECO warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts automatically:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox , when you fully
depress the clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox:
•

g

ear selector in position D or M , when
you release the brake pedal,
•

o

r gear selector in position N and brake
pedal released, when you place the gear
selector in position D or M ,
•
o

r when you engage reverse gear.

Driving

148
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if
a gear is engaged without fully depressing
the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes
on or an alert message is displayed asking
you to depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
As a safety measure or to maintain comfort
levels in the vehicle, START mode is activated
automatically when:
-
y

-
y

ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (2 mph
(3
km/h) with PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions), or
2
mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox.
-

t
he electric parking brake is being applied,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature...) require the engine to
be running to assure control of a system. In this case, the "
ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
At any time, press the ECO OFF switch to
d eactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by the display of a
message.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Reactivation
F Press the ECO OFF switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message. The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the ECO OFF switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message
may also be displayed asking you to put
the gear lever into position N and put your
foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition, then restart the engine using the
key or the "START/STOP" button.

-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.

due to action by the driver, an audible signal
supplements the alert.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) as well as:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox, the engagement of
fourth gear or higher,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, the gear
selector at position D or second gear or
higher in manual mode.

momentarily interrupted (paused):
-

b

y pressing the Pause control or by
pressing the brake or clutch pedals,
-

a

utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
