at every new star t using the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes then
comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. It is then necessary to switch
off the ignition and star t the engine again using
the key.
Before doing anything 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 battery with a special
specification and technology (reference
numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
Maintenance
The Stop & Star t system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.

Driving
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:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- in par ticular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill star t 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:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A
or M
on an electronic
gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in D
or M
on an automatic
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit 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) are on fixed (not
flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Driving
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dir ty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
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 signal (shor t beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating fault
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 below 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 interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
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.

Driving
System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the parking
manoeuvre.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The warning lamp in the control A
can have two different states:
Displays
- on fixed:
the system is switched on by a
press on control A
.
- off:
the system is not switched on.

Driving
Operation
When you have identified a parking space:
)
Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A
(electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D
(automatic
gearbox).
)
Press button A
to star t the system.
)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.
)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.
)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of switching on the
system,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to position 0 or switch on

or by dipping the headlamps manually
using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.

This automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. The driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting and its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic.
The system may suffer inter ference or
not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the sensor,
- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
