Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal.
-with a 5-speed electronic gearbox , atspeeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear lever
in position N
.


Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, 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 notavailable
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 engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a 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.
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectl
y normal.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) whenstarting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, withyour foot on the brake pedal,
- when certain conditions of gradient are met,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot bedeactivated.
On an ascendin
g slope, with the vehiclestationary, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:

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

- if you are in position Aor Mwith an electronic gearbox.

- if you are in position Dor Mwith an
automatic gearbox.


Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is beingheld in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle whilethe engine is running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that theparking brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in the instrument panel.


Operating fault

If a fault occurs with the system, these warninglamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the systemchecked.

Daytime running lamps
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer taincountries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other users.
LED lamps
They come on when the engine is star ted.
Depending on the destination country, they are
used for:
- daytime running lamps * in day mode and
sidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps),
or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.

*

function that can be set in the vehicle configuration menu.
Thi
s function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beamheadlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps; this function cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps (bulbs or
LEDs); this function can be activated or
deactivated via the vehicle configurationmenu.

Safety
Electronic Stability Programme incorporatingthe following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or tractioncontrol,

- the d
ynamic stability control (DSC).






























Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake
force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control(DSC)

If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required bythe driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Safety
Dynamic stability control(DSC)

Activation
This system is activated automatically eachtime the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of thiswarning lamp in the instrument panel.




Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically eachtime the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).)
Press the switch again to reactivate it
manually. But it is recommended that the s
ystem bereactivated as soon as possible.) Press the switch.
The indicator lamp in the switch comes on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the operation of
the engine.
