Gearbox operating fault
The corresponding indicator lamps in
the selector and the electric parking
brake control lever must be on, as well
as those in the instrument panel.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
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 system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
This is signalled by the illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by the display of a message and an
audible signal, when the ignition is
switched on.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100
km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode
D is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no
longer available. You may feel a pronounced
jolt when engaging reverse. This does not
present any risk for the gearbox.
Selector operating fault
Minor malfunction
You are alerted by this warning lamp
lighting up, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal.
Drive cautiously and go to a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.
Major malfunction
You are alerted by the illumination of
this warning lamp.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, away
from the traffic, and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Choice of a mode
When the message goes off, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated in the
instrument panel (except for "Normal" mode). ECO, Comfor t, Normal, Spor t, Manual.
Pressing the control displays the modes in the
instrument panel.
Gear shift indicator
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, at a speed below
2 mph (3
km/h), when you place the gear
lever in neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox:
Depending on version, the choice of
a driving mode is also managed by
the i-Cockpit® Amplify
function;
refer to the corresponding section.
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.

F Press this button; the associated orange indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel.
Pressing the button again reactivates the
system; the associated indicator lamp goes off.
The indicator lamp in the instrument panel goes
off, accompanied by the display of a message. Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations
, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes for a few
moments in the instrument panel,
then remains on, accompanied by
the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine
may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is
switched
on.It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again with the " START/STOP"
button.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressures while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y 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. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Driving
Page 143 of 320

141
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. 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).
Other wise, 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 indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top 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 satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. F
I
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F
I
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n case 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, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
