Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on driving conditions and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you
to skip one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. The road layout, traffic
density and safety remain decisive factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the guidance issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an arrow
and the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
inputs (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
–
engaging first gear
,
–
engaging reverse gear
.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes on the instrument
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position N and depress the
brake pedal.
►
Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the tyre pressures while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–
worsens road-holding.
–
lengthens braking distances.
–
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.

Driving
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar.
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed:
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►
Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
Stop 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 rely on just a visual check.
►
Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►
If it is not possible to make this check
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.
► In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
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, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving/V ehicle touch
screen menu.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in the event of a malfunction.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Page 104 of 244
102
Driving
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.
For a suggested maximum speed, the first time
that the vehicle exceeds it by more than 3 mph
(5 km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is
displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending
on version).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
– Poor weather (rain, snow).
– Atmospheric pollution.
– Towing.
– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
– Young drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
– Obsolete or incorrect maps.
► ensure that the mat is secured correctly ,
► never fit one mat on top of another .
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit details from the navigation system
mapping.
You should update your navigation mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated as you pass
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
1. Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication
