operation
this symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
th

brake pedals at the same time,
-

i

Stop & Start
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 the e-
tH

P 165 version, when you put
the gear lever into neutral and release the
clutch pedal,
-

w

ith 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
S
tO

P mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
t h e key. Never refuel with the engine in
S
tO

P mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, S
tO

P mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S
tO

P mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
th

e Stop & Start

system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - S

during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...).

mode - as soon as
you want to move off.
th
e 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.

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.
th
is system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain gradient conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
th

e hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:
-

p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral with
a manual gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily 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 with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the lever of the electric
parking brake control are on fixed
(not


flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a Pe ugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are
made using these buttons only when
the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
blade (or in its recess) so as to not
impede deployment of the blade and its
correct operation.

(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.

microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the

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.
th

e tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th

e system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
th

is 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). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
th

e 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.
For more information on identification
markings, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

187
508_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
the loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
th
e alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
th

e spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
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.

Operating fault
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.
th

is alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).

workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a P

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 P

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer
has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
to r
eturn to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
th

e speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
th

e programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
th

e speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

is information also appears in the
head-up display.
