STOP & START 
 
The Stop & Start system puts the 
engine temporarily on standby - STOP 
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red 
lights, traffi 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 
gearbox 
, at a speed below 5 mph 
(8 km/h), when you press the brake 
pedal or put the gear selector into 
position  N 
.    If your vehicle is fi tted 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. 
  With the automatic gearbox 
system, for your comfort 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 
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 parking brake is applied or 
being applied, 
   
-   the engine is needed to maintain 
a comfortable 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 fl ashes for a 
few seconds, then goes off. 
   
This operation is perfectly normal. 
 
  

Stop & Start
   
Going into engine START mode 
  The  "ECO" 
 warning lamp goes 
off and the engine starts: 
   
 
-   with a manual gearbox 
, when you 
depress the clutch pedal, 
   
-   with the 6-speed electronic 
gearbox 
: 
   
 
● 
  gear selector in position  A 
 or 
  M 
, when you release the brake 
pedal, 
   
● 
  or gear selector in position  N 
 and 
the brake pedal released, when 
you move the gear selector to 
position  A 
 or  M 
, 
   
● 
  or when you engage reverse 
gear.  
 
    
Special cases: START invoked 
automatically 
  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, 
   
-   the parking brake is being applied, 
   
-   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. 
 
  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 message 
is displayed asking you to depress the 
clutch pedal to restart the engine.  
 
 
 
Deactivation 
 
At any time, press the  "ECO 
OFF" 
 switch to deactivate the 
system. 
  This is confi rmed by the switch warning 
lamp coming on accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
  If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.

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 
automatically at every new start 
using the key.  
 
 
Operating fault 
 
In the event of a malfunction 
with the system, 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. 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 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.

  HILL START ASSIST
   
Operation 
 
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release the 
brake pedal you have approximately 
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to 
roll back and without using the parking 
brake within which to move off. 
  During the moving off phase, the 
function is deactivated automatically, 
gradually releasing the braking 
pressure. During this phase, the 
characteristic noise of mechanical 
release of the brakes may be heard, 
indicating the imminent movement of 
the vehicle. 
   
Operating fault 
 
Hill start assist is deactivated in the 
following situations: 
   
 
-   when the clutch pedal is released, 
   
-   when the parking brake is applied, 
   
-   when the engine is switched off, 
   
-   when the engine stalls.  
 
  If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, this warning lamp 
comes on accompanied 
by an audible signal and 
confi rmed by a message 
in the screen. Contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have 
the system checked.     This function, linked with the ESP, 
makes hill starts easier and is activated 
in the following conditions: 
   
 
-   the vehicle must be stationary, 
engine running, foot on the brake, 
   
-   the gradient of the road must be 
steeper than 5%, 
   
-   uphill, the gearbox must be in 
neutral or in a gear other than 
reverse, 
   
-   downhill, reverse gear must be 
engaged.  
  The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill 
Start Assist function is a driving comfort 
system. It is not an automatic vehicle 
parking function or an automatic 
parking brake.

  However, pressing the pedal beyond 
this point of resistance to the fl oor 
allows the programmed speed to be 
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter, 
simply reduce the pressure on the 
accelerator pedal gradually and return 
to a speed below that programmed. 
   
The operating actions may be 
carried out when stationary, with the 
engine running, or with the vehicle 
moving. 
   This speed limiter shows the function 
selection status in the instrument panel 
and displays the programmed speed: 
  SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT" 
 
Function selected, 
  displaying of the 
"Speed Limiter" 
symbol. 
  Function deactivated, 
  last programmed speed - OFF 
  (example at 65 mph 
(107 km/h)). 
  Function activated 
  (example at 65 mph 
(107 km/h)). 
 
Vehicle speed above 
  (example 70 mph 
(118 km/h)), 
  the programmed speed 
is displayed fl ashing.

 - the dashes 
fl ash.    "This is the selected speed which the 
driver does not wish to exceed". 
  This selection is made with the engine 
running while stationary or with the 
vehicle moving. The minimum speed 
which can be programmed is 20 mph 
(30 km/h). 
  The speed of the vehicle responds 
to the pressure of the driver's foot as 
far as the accelerator pedal point of 
resistance which indicates that the 
programmed speed has been reached.

  The air conditioning does not operate if 
the fan speed is set to 0.     The air conditioning can only operate 
with the engine running. 
  The LED in the button is on. 
Recirculation temporarily 
prevents exterior odours 
and smoke from entering the 
passenger compartment. 
  Used with the setting of the fan speed 
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you 
to attain the desired comfort level more 
quickly with both hot or cold settings. 
  This position should only be temporary. 
When your desired comfort level has 
been reached, return to the intake 
of exterior air position to permit 
renewal of the air in the passenger 
compartment and avoid misting. This is 
the preferred operating mode.
