Stop & Start The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal.
-with a 5-speed electronic gearbox , at
speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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...

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 fastened,

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

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
A tim
e 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.
The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

or M,
●
or when you engage reverse gear.

For reasons of safet
y and for your comfort,START mode is invoked automatically when:
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph(11 k m / h) with an electronic gearbox,
- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.

If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restar ts immediately.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message in the screen.

switch warning lamp flashes thencomes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle ma
y stall. All of the warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition and star t the engine again using the key.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of STA R T m o d e .

This s
ystem requires a battery with a specialspecification and technology (reference numbers available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.



Maintenance

The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains thespeed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: itrequires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on an electronic or automaticgearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the electronic stability system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. The controls of this s
ystem are grouped

Safety











Grip control

Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This s
ystem is combined with all-season M+S (Mud and Snow: 215/60 R16) tyres which offer
an excellent compromise between safety, gripand traction.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip(encountered during touring use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use thepower of the engine. The electronics will ensure optimum management of the variousparameters. Operation at high engine speeds iscompletely normal.
Each time the ignition is switched off, the system returns to standard mode (DSC).
Normal mode
Standard mode which is calibrated for a lowlevel of wheel spin, based on the differentlevels of grip normally encountered on the road.
)
Place the dial in this position.
A message appears in the multifunctionscreen or in the instrument panelscreen confirming the mode selected


Snow mode
Mode which adapts its strategy to theconditions of grip encountered for each of the
two front wheels on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to provide the best acceleration possible for the
grip available.
)Place the dial in this position.
