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

for e-HDi Diesel engines:
●

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
place the gear lever into neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal,
●

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear lever
into position N ,
-

for e-VTI and e -THP petrol engines and
BlueHDi Diesel engines, with the vehicle
stationary. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off
the
ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, 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:
- 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 using
t h e key,
-

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,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
A time 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 perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
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.

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.
This function is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

w
hen certain conditions of gradient are
met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment 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 A or M with an
electronic gearbox,
-

i
f you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually
or 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. 1.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
forwards and backwards more than once.The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the care and
responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle ensuring that the space
remains clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
the correct operation of the parking
assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags... There is a risk of
injury. For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect
spaces which are clearly much smaller
or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system
is activated automatically during
manoeuvres; it is therefore possible
that a symbol comes on in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
without affecting the manoeuvre.
The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking. The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
The selection of the type of manoeuvre
(entering or exiting a parallel parking
space) prevents a change to STOP
mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, this selection restarts
the engine.

A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance,
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to avoid wheel
slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
F

P
ress the button or, depending
on version, turn the knob to this
position.
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h). The indicator lamp in the button or the knob
comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.
F

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
