HILL START ASSIST *
System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, 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,
with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deacti-
vated.
On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal and you are in fi rst
gear or neutral.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
pedal.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.
If the lever is not in position P
,

message disappears.
Operating fault
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches
to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P
to R
and
from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph
(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-
mitting.

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 ig-
nition 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 techno-
logy (reference numbers available from
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
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.
