Driving











Stop & Start
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 the electronic gear control
gearbox,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the selector
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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfor t, 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 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 star t using
the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table 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 per fectly normal.

Checks





































Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

When working under the bonnet, take
care, as cer tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns).


Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has
been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.


Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.
