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.
F

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.

The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F

R

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a
visual
check. or
F

i
f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a
warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

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.

Active City Brake
brakes if driving behind a vehicle that slows
d own rapidly, stops or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a
collision or reduce
the speed of impact.
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 relative distance and speed of
other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a


collision. If operation is triggered:

if the speed difference between your
vehicle and the one ahead is not more
than 9
mph (15 km/h).
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:

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.

Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
c annot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking
a


manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
Audible assistance
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
It is only available with Park Assist.
For more information on Park Assist , refer to
the corresponding section.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
The information on proximity is given by an
intermittent audible signal, whose frequency
becomes quicker as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows the side on which the obstacle is located
to be identified.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
