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.

Technical data























Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification and tracing of your vehicle.



A.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper suppor t.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.

If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.


B.
Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
C.
Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aper ture, on the
driver's side.

D.
Ty r e / p a i n t l a b e l .

This label is affixed to the door aper ture, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

08 TRIP COMPUTER


Each press of the button, located on the steering
wheel, displays the different trip computer information
in succession, depending on the screen.


- the "vehicle " tab with:


●
the range, the current fuel consumption or the
Stop & Start time counter,

- the "1" tab (trip 1) with:


●
the average speed, the average fuel
consumption and the distance travelled
calculated over trip " 1
",

- the "2" tab (trip 2) with the same information for a
second trip.

Zero reset
When the required trip is displayed, press the control
for more than two seconds.


Range:
displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining fuel
detected in the tank, based on the average fuel consumption over the last
few miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the
vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

A FEW DEFINITIONS



Current fuel consumption:
only calculated and displayed above 20 mph (30 km/h).



Average fuel consumption:
this is the average fuel consumption since
the last trip computer zero reset.


Distance travelled:
calculated since the last trip computer zero reset.


Average speed:
this is the average speed calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (ignition on).








Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
