- 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"

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-

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.
