In this case return the ignition switch
to " ON ", move the gear selector to

then turn the ignition switch to " OFF". On a slope, use the brakes to
immobilise the vehicle and place the

Operating faults
In all cases, it is essential that you
apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.
Before doing anything under the

in neutral N and the parking brake is
applied.
Limits of operation
On a gradient, or when hill start assist is
activated, never hold the vehicle using the

Operation
example:
- Y ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
t
h
e system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
the

gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. t
her
efore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
th
is function cannot be deactivated.
th

e information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
th
e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
th

e system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-

ging reverse gear.
With an
etg electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
With the Pure

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
th
is system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain conditions of slope are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
th

e hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:
-

i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
-

i
f you are in position E or M with an etg
electronic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, this
warning lamp comes on. Contact
a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually.

Stop & Start (Vti 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
this indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in S
tO

P
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres S
tO

P mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S
tO

P mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
StOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
th

e Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - S
tO

P mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). t
h
e
engine restarts automatically - S
tA

R
t

mode - as soon as you want to move off.
t
h

e 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.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
StO P mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
S
tO

P mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.

Maintenance
At any time, press this button to deactivate the
system.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated in
StOP mode, the engine restarts immediately. Press this button again.
th

e system is active again; this is confirmed by the
indicator lamp going off in the instrument panel.
th
e system is reactivated automatically at
every new engine start by the driver.
Reactivation
this is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
th

is system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from P
e

uge
Ot d

ealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
Pe
ugeOt
introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
th

e Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a P

dealer is able to
provide.

the speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter (Puretech 82 engine)
the speed limiter is switched on manually:
this can be done whatever the speed of the
vehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
20 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is paused by operation of the
control.
th

e programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
to r

eturn to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle
returns to the programmed speed limit. System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.Steering mounted controls
