If you stop the vehicle but keep the engine
running, you must always move the gear
selector to the neutral position N.
A continuous audible signal sounds if you
turn the ignition switch to " OFF" while the
vehicle is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear.
If this happens, turn the ignition switch
to " ON ", move the gear selector to the
position N , return it to position E , M or R,
then turn the ignition switch to " OFF".
If the vehicle is on a
slope, use the brake
to stop the vehicle from moving and place
the gear selector to position N , E or R.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, make sure that the gear
selector is in neutral N and the parking
brake is applied.Operating limits
When on a slope or when hill start assist is
a ctivated, never keep the vehicle stationary
using the accelerator: you could damage the
clutch.
In these situations, an audible signal sounds.

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to change gear.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
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 on the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
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.
With an ETG gearbox, the system is only
active in manual mode.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver's door closed. The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-

p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on
a


manual gearbox.
-

p
rovided you are in position E or M with an
ETG gearbox. On a
descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary 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
w arning lamp comes on. Contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.

Stop & Starttime counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not change features
of the vehicle such as braking, power
steering…
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
traffic stops (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode
– as soon as you want to move off. Restarting
occurs 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. -

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a
flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Deactivation/Manual
reactivation
Press this button at any time to deactivate the
system.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in
the instrument panel.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP
mode, the engine restarts immediately.
Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by
the indicator lamp going off in the instrument
panel.
The system reactivates automatically every
time the engine is started by the driver.
Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This system allows certain road signs detected
by the camera to be displayed on the touch
screen (especially the maximum authorised
speed).
Examples of signs recognised:
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the touch
screen is updated as you pass a
speed limit
sign intended for cars (light vehicles).
Driving

83
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed
limit sign within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Activation/deactivation
F In the touch screen, select
the " Configuration " menu
then " General " and activate
" Configuration of traffic signs
recognition ".
Activation is taken into account after about
1


second.

alerts or visual and sound alerts ):
F

I

n " Speeding alert ", set "Notification
alert " then " Level of notification ".
F

I

n " Overtaking alert ", set "Notification
alert ".
Display
On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.
If this speed is exceeded, the sign is displayed
in red and may be accompanied by an audible
signal (depending on the settings chosen for
the Speeding alert ).
When a
No Overtaking sign is detected, the
sign may be displayed fixed or flashing.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-

p
oor weather (rain, snow),
-
a

tmospheric pollution,

vegetation, snow),
-

s
peed limit signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted.
If an app on your smart phone is used
via Mirror Screen, the sign displayed by
the system may be temporarily hidden. It
will be redisplayed as soon as you pass
another sign.Speed limiter
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The limiter is switched on manually: this
can be done regardless of the vehicle speed.
However, if you are travelling at less than
18

mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be set at 18
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is paused using the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the set limit
speed has been reached again.
The programmed speed is erased when
the ignition is switched off.
The limiter cannot, under any
circumstances, replace respect for speed
limits, nor the vigilance of the driver.
Steering mounted control
The controls for this system are grouped
together on this steering mounted control.
1.Activation/deactivation of the limiter: by
pressing on the end of the control.
2. Programming the speed/decreasing the

Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver (steep hill…).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Press the end of the control: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it signals
a
malfunction of the limiter. Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
s ystem that aims to avoid a frontal collision or
to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react or reacts too late (brake applied
too late).
This system has been designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope…) at a
distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
t he top of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle moving in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a
collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to inter vene only
when there is a
high risk of collision.
Driving

87
Conditions of activation
Active City Brake functions if the following
conditions are met:
•
T
he engine is running.
•

T

Operation
Three functional stages are possible:
• P re-collision warning : if risk of a
collision
with a
vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal, to warn the driver to take avoiding
action. The triggering thresholds of the
warning can be set.
•

Br
aking assistance : increases the braking
started by the driver, but only if a
risk of
collision is detected.
•

A
utomatic pre-collision braking : if
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle
in front of you too quickly, the system
will automatically engage the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. The collision
can be automatically avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and the
one in front of you is not more than 18
mph
(30


km/h).Then you are alerted by the display
of this warning indicator in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The brake lamps of your vehicle are lit to warn
other users.
The automatic braking can lead to the complete
stop of the vehicle if the situation requires. Unless the driver de-clutches quickly
enough during automatic braking,
triggering of the system may cause the
engine to stall.
