PEUGEOT 308 2015 Owners Manual

169
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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" indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
with PureTech 130 and BlueHDi 115 and
120 versions, when you put the gear lever
into neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or you put the gear selector in
position N ,
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t
he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he vehicle is stopped on a steep slope
(up
or down),
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome 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" indicator
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
- with an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector 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.

immediately.
Driving

171
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by
the indicator lamp in the switch going off and a
message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" switch
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
S TA R T m o d e .
When driving on flooded roads or
crossing a ford, switch off the Stop &
Start and drive at walking speed.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less
then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Driving

173
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it. F

R
educe speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Visual and audible front and rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
barrier...) located behind the vehicle, however,
it will not be able to detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper.The parking sensors are switched on
:
- b y engaging reverse gear,
-

a
t a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal
and display of the vehicle in the multifunction
screen. The proximity information is indicated by:
-
a n audible signal which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle,
-

a
n image in the multifunction screen, with
blocks which move closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the speakers;
front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the version of
multifunction screen.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the start of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves nearer to it.
Driving

175
The parking sensors are switched off:
- w hen you come out of reverse gear,
-

w
hen the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in for ward gear,
-

w
hen the vehicle has been stationary for
more than three seconds in forward gear.
Deactivation
Operating fault

F

P

ress button A , the warning lamp comes
on, the system is fully deactivated. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep),
when reverse gear is engaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated
automatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted
(vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle
carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor
audible signals.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the navigation
screen.This system is a driving aid that does
not replace vigilance on the part of the
driver, who must remain in control of the
vehicle at all times.The green lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
Clean the lens of the reversing camera
regularly using a sponge and a soft
cloth.
When cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the end of the
lance at least 30 cm from the camera
lens. The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond
the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper.
The blue lines represent the maximum turning
circle.
The lines displayed in the screen do not
allow the position of the vehicle to be
determined relative to tall obstacles
(for example: vehicles nearby).
Some deformation of the image is
normal.

Parking space sensors
After measuring the parking space available
between two vehicles or obstacles, this system
gives you information on:
-
t
he possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,
-

t
he level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle.Displays in the instrument panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three
different states:
-

o

ff: the function is not selected,
-

o

n fixed: the function is selected but the
conditions for measurement are not yet met
(direction indicator not operating, speed
