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.

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.

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 system 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. You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals
at all times.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
The controls of this system are grouped together at the steering wheel. 1. Cruise control mode selection wheel. 2. Decrease value or speed setting on the fly button. 3. Increase value or speed setting on the fly
button. 4. Cruise control pause / resume button. 5. Memorised speeds display button.
Displays in the instrument panel
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The cruise control is paused manually or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESC 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 until the programmed cruise speed is reached again.
As well as the engagement of at least third or fourth gear (depending on engine) on a manual gearbox.
For more information on the list of
memorised speeds, refer to the "Memorising speeds" section.
As well as the engagement of at least second
gear (depending on engine) on an automatic gearbox.

Active cruise control
This systems allows the vehicle's speed to be maintained at a value set by the driver. In addition it allows (when circumstances permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have selected (around 2 seconds by default and at each activation of the system) to be maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located at the front of the vehicle, this system detects a vehicle running in front of your vehicle. It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front. If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, the system progressively reduces the speed of your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the driver had pressed the " - " button). If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching too quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise control is automatically deactivated. The driver is then alerted by an audible signal, accompanied by a message. If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes lane, the active cruise control progressively accelerates your vehicle to return to the programmed speed. If the driver operates a direction indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, the active cruise control allows your vehicle to temporarily approach the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
The active cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking. The regulation range is limited: there will no longer be any adjustment of speed if the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front becomes too high.
The activation of this system deactivates the display of inter-vehicle time.
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically deactivated.

The active cruise control is switched on manually, it requires that the speed of the vehicle be between 25 mph (40 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
General points
The active cruise control can be pausedmanually with the control, or automatically: - by pressing the brake or clutch pedal, - in the event of operation of the ESP, for safety reasons, - in the event of an action of the electric parking brake control, - when an inter-vehicle time threshold is reached (calculated according to the relative speeds of your vehicle and the vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time setting chosen), - when the distance between your vehicle and the one in front becomes to small, - when the speed of the vehicle in front is to low, - when the speed of your vehicle becomes too low.
The active cruise control cannot in any circumstances replace the observation of speed limits, nor the the vigilance and responsibility of the driver. It is recommended that you always keep your feet close to the pedals.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed value, and the inter-vehicle time is reset to 2 seconds.
As well as the engagement of at least third or fourth gear (depending on engine) on a manual gearbox.
As well as the engagement of at least second gear (depending on engine) on an automatic gearbox.
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph (150 km/h), the active cruise control switches to normal cruise control mode (without automatic adjustment of the safety inter-vehicle distance).
