Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary (depending on the engine), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the button.
For your comfort, during parking maoeuvres, 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 principally when: - the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or d ow n), - 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 by the driver, - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,
- demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes of f. 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.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
- With an automatic gearbox , vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N .
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , when you fullydepress the clutch pedal.
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 15 mph (25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h) (depending on the engine) with a manual gearbox, - the speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox, - the electric parking brake is being applied, - 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 deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message.
Deactivation
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
- With an automatic gearbox : ● gear selector in position D or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear selector in position N and brake pedal released, when you place the gear selector in position D or M , ● or when you engage reverse.

The system is reactivated automatically at every new engine start by the driver.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off, accompanied by a message.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on. Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in position N and put your foot on the brake pedal. You must switch off the ignition, then start the engine again.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not reverse the polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required,
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Memorising speeds
Memorisation
This function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the cruise control (for a vehicle cruising speed). You can memorise up to six speed settings for each of the two systems. By default, some speeds are already memorised.
 Select the " Speed settings ".
For safety reasons, the driver must carry out these operations when
stationary.
 Select the system for which you want to memorise speeds:
 Go to the " Driving assistance" menu.
 Enter the new value using the numerical keypad and confirm.  Confirm to save the modification and quit the menu. ● s p e e d l i m i t e r o r
● c r u i s e c o n t r o l .
 Choose the speed setting you want to m o di f y.
This button allows you return to the factory settings.

Speed limiter
Once the programmed speed limit is reached, additional pressure on the accelerator pedal has no effect.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The controls are grouped together at the steering wheel. 1. Speed limiter mode selection wheel. 2. Value decrease button. 3. Value increase button. 4. Speed limiter on / pause button. 5. List of memorised speeds display button.
Displays in the instrument panel
The speed limiter is switched on manually: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h). The speed limiter is paused by operation of 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 vehicle returns to the programmed speed limit.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

Driving
On sharp acceleration, as when descending a steep hill, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. The limiter is temporarily deactivated 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. 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: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the speed limiter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Operating fault Exceeding the programmed
speed
Switching off
When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained. The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT may inter fere with the operation of the cruise control. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
If the programmed speed is exceeded, the displayed speed flashes. Once the vehicle returns to the programmed speed, the display becomes steady again.
 Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position. The display of information related to the cruise control disappears.
