Hill start assist
System that holds your vehicle for around
2 seconds, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function. Hill start assist is only available when:
-

y
our foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on fixed in the
instrument panel.
Malfunction
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
l amps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a

release the brake pedal.
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in
position D . Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a

shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
Stop & Start
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby – STOP mode – during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically – START mode – as
soon as you wish to move off again. Restarting
occurs instantaneously, 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 mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.

Deactivation/Reactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.Opening the bonnet Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a
flooded road, 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.
Malfunction
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
b attery 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.

T

o deactivate or reactivate the system,
press this button.
The indicator lamp is lit when the system is
deactivated.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
In the event of a

fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes, then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
If a

fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.

Without touch screen
F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
With touch screen
The reinitialisation of the system is done with
the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The reinitialisation of the system is
configured in the Driving/Vehicle
menu.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp, accompanied by
the illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp,
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After any inter vention on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection/off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter on/pause.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 19
mph
(30


km/h).
The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use
of the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on
the accelerator pedal gradually and return to
a


speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.

Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
impact by lowering the speed of impact.
Activation/Deactivation
It is possible to activate or
deactivate the Active City Brake
from the Driving/Vehicle menu.
The system state remains memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Each subsequent time the ignition is switched
on, if the automatic emergency braking function
is deactivated, a temporary message will
be displayed to point this out when a

Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, etc.) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop:

indicates that a fault has been detected.
-
F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow, etc.).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same.

Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
w hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of
a


collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on the country where the product
is sold.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a
Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
t he tank.
In order to ensure a
good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly.
Driving abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
When a
petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.
The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
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 authorised speed.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
185/65


R15 9
mm
195/55
R16
2 0 5 /4 5


R17 7
mm
For more information on snow chains, contact
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Installation tips
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.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation
be per formed by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towing device is
used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data

section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Practical information

111
Recommendations
Distribute the load evenly, making sure not
to overload one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars when they are not
in use.
Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut. When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
