DRIVING

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
:


●
gear lever in position A
or M
, when
you release the brake pedal,

●
or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, when you
move the gear lever to position A

or M
,

●
or when you engage reverse gear.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is
invoked automatically when:


- you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with the
6-speed electronic gearbox system,

- 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 fl ashes for few seconds,
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.




Deactivation

If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately. At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-
ing off and a message in the instrument
panel.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key. With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a mes-
sage is displayed asking you to de-
press the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction with the sys-
tem, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes, then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps
in the instrument panel come on. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.


Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c battery
with a special specifi cation and techno-
logy (reference numbers available from
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done only
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to re-
spect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsi-
bility on the part of the driver. The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.

DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.



Programming



)
Turn dial 1

slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of
another.

PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the fi eld of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-
works cone, etc.) detected initially will
no longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the presence of blind
spots.

This function cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.



Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging
reverse gear. This is accompanied by
an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequen-
cy of which increases as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right
or left) indicates the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle becomes less than ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audi-
ble signal becomes continuous.
This supplements the audible signal
by displaying bars in the multifunction
screen which move progressively nearer
to the vehicle. When the obstacle is
near, the "Danger" symbol is also dis-
played in the screen.

Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors,
the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in front
and the speed of the vehicle is still be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more than
three seconds in forward gear, if no
further obstacles are detected or when
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h).


Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors

Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors


The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT).



Operating fault


In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp in the
button goes off.
The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.
The status of the function
is stored when the ignition
is switched off.
For more information on ac-
cess to the parking sensors menu, refer
to the section covering the confi guration
of vehicle systems.
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
