temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
- if you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
- if you are in position D
with the CVT
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to

.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the bonnet is open,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h) since the last engine start,
- the vehicle has restarted less than
10 seconds ago,
- 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.
- the "AS &G"
warning lamp is
flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.

Driving
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key or the
START/STOP button.
Reactivation
Press the "AS &G O FF "
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by
the "AS &G O FF "
warning lamp going off in the

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "AS &G O FF "
warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel or instrument panel screen,
and the system no longer operates.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference numbers
available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
Maintenance
The "Auto Stop & Go" system makes
use of advanced technology. All work
on this type of battery must be done
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. The following warning lamps
come on in the instrument panel or instrument
panel screen:
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine using the key or the

Safety
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if the
vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h).
It is deactivated when the vehicle speed falls
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationary
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on
(ON position). If it does not switch off or
does not come on, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning lamp comes
on continuously it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
The two warning lamps comes on at the
same time and the two warnings are
displayed alternately in the instrument
panel screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop as
soon as possible. If these two warning lamps come on, linked
with the warnings on the instrument panel
screen, they indicate a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Safety
Associated systems which guarantee the directional stability of the vehicle within the limits of the laws of physics:
- traction control (TCL),
- active stability control (ASC).
Traction control and active stability control
Traction control optimises traction to prevent
wheel spin, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
Active stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
The illumination of this warning lamp
in the instrument panel indicates
that the ASC and TCL systems are
deactivated.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol on the instrument panel
screen.
Trajectory control systems
)
Press this button, located to the left of the
steering wheel, until the symbol appears in
the instrument panel screen.
Operation
They operate when the vehicle speed is higher
than 10 mph (15 km/h).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

Safety
Reactivation
Operating fault
The illumination of one of these warning lamps
accompanied by a message in the instrument
panel screen indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASC/ TCL systems
checked. The ASC/ TCL systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
)
Press this button again to reactivate the
ASC and TCL systems.
When the warning lamp goes off, this indicates
the reactivation of the ASC and TCL systems.
