Creep function *

This function makes manoeuvring the
vehicle much easier at low speeds
(when parking, in traffi c jams…).
After fi rst placing the gear lever in posi-
tion A
, M
or R
, the vehicle starts moving
as soon as you take your foot off the
brake pedal.
When the engine is idling, brakes
released, if position A
, M
or R
is
selected, the vehicle moves even if
you do not press the accelerator.
Never leave unsupervised children in
the vehicle with the engine running. Do not hold the vehicle using the
accelerator: use the foot brake or
the parking brake.
Never leave the vehicle during a
hill start assist phase.

* Model fi tted with the 1.6 litre e-HDi
PEF 112 hp Diesel engine.


Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can:


- move to position N
to select neutral,
or

- leave the gear engaged; in this case
the vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, it is essential that you ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

Operating fault

When immobilising the vehicle,
with the engine running, you must
place the gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N
and
that the parking brake is applied. With the ignition on, if this warn-
ing lamp comes on and AUTO

fl ashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, this indicates a malfunc-
tion of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
With the ignition on, if the warn-
ing lamp above and this warning
lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage in the screen, this indicates a mal-
function of the hill start assist system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
It is essential to press the brake
pedal when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-
fi c 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.
Perfect 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever
into position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time counter
calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode dur-
ing a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox system, for your comfort during parking ma-
noeuvres, STOP mode is not avail-
able for a few seconds after coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
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 start
using the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is on,

- 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 a few seconds,
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

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 confi rmed
by the switch warning lamp going 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
system, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning
lamp fl ashes, then comes on continu-
ously.
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 igni-
tion 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 technology (reference
numbers available from a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop).
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.

CHECKS






CHECKS













12 V battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, re-
fer to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.







The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter is indicated
by the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the risk of blockage of the parti-
cle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"Additive level" section.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle
fi lter regeneration operations may
be accompanied by a "burning"
smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.

Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.





















Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.















Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your
vehicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.

)

Drive immediately for approximately
three miles (fi ve kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 15 and 35 mph
(20 and 60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.



Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the sys-
tem is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Do not start the compressor be-
fore connecting the white pipe to
the tyre valve: the sealant prod-
uct would be expelled through the
pipe.

are off.
Do not reverse the polarity and use
only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.

Ensure that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If covered in
sulphate (white or green deposits),
remove and clean them.

The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
