Switching off the lighting when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or falling snow. In these weather conditions, you should switch on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manually, as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. Do not forget to switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
Switching on the lighting when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A to position "0" - lighting off, then to the position of your choice. If the lighting is switched on manually after switching off the ignition, there is an audible signal when a front door is opened to warn the driver that they have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off. They switch off automatically after a period which depends on the state of charge of the battery (entry to energy economy mode).

Driving
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on the control lever on the control lever on the control leverA will stop the vehicle . The dynamic stability control (DSC) provides stability during emergency braking. If there is a fault with the emergency braking, one of the following messages will be displayed: - "Parking brake faulty". - "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by the illumination of this warning lamp, then braking stability is not guaranteed.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal operation. To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pulling then releasing control lever A . The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by the warning lamp in the control lever A and the warning lamp in the instrument panel going off and the display of the message "Handbrake off ". If a parking brake fault occurs while applied or if the battery runs flat, an emergency release is always possible.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate "pull release" actions on control lever A .

SituationsConsequences
Display of the message " Parking brake control fault - auto parking brake activated " and of the following warning lamps:
- Only the automatic application on switching off the engine and automatic release on acceleration functions are available. - The manual application/release of the electric parking brake and the emergency braking are not available.
and possibly

flashing
Battery fault - If the battery warning lamp comes on you must stop immediately as soon as the traffic allows. Stop and immobilise your vehicle (if necessary, place the two chocks under the wheels). - Apply the electric parking brake before switching off the engine.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R and from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.  Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.

Driving
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the 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.
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when: - 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 using
the key, - 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.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
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...
Stop & Start

184Driving
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts with an electronic gearbox :
- gear lever in position A or M , release the brake pedal, - or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, move the gear lever to position A or M , - or engage reverse gear.
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
START mode is invoked automatically when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph (11 km/h) with the electronic gearbox system, - 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.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
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 in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then 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 the instrument panel warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
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. To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and observe the polarity.
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
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.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
