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 system only operates 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 system cannot be
deactivated.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu-
tral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in position A
or M
on
an electronic gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in position D
or M
on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily when you release the brake
pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the
parking brake manually then ensure
that the parking brake warning lamp
(and the warning lamp P
in the lever
of the electric parking brake) are on
fi xed (not fl ashing).
If a fault in the system occurs, these
warning lamps come on. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop sto have the system checked.

Stopping the vehicle Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this
warning lamp comes on and
AUTO
fl ashes, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction
screen, this indicates a fault with the
gearbox.
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
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When immobilising the vehi-
cle, with the engine running, it
is essential to 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.
Sport setting
)
Following selection of the sequen-
tial mode or automatic mode, press
button S
to activate the Sport setting
which offers you a more dynamic
style of driving.
S
appears next to the gear en-
gaged in the instrument panel
screen.
)
Press button S
again to return to
normal settings.
S
is then cleared from the instrument
panel screen.
The gearbox returns to normal
mode automatically each time
the ignition is switched off.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this
case, it will not be possible to move
the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

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, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up 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 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
You risk damaging the gear-
box:
Manual operation
)
Select position M
for sequential
changing of the six gears.
)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.
)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds af-
ter the ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
)
Return the lever to position P
; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.
- 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.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), posi-
tion the gear lever at N
and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.

Reactivation
The system is reactivated au-
tomatically at every new start
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault 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: all the instrument
panel warning lamps come on. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of START mode.
The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the
system go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment re-
quired, which a PEUGEOT dealer is
able to provide.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and technol-
ogy (reference numbers available from
PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V char-
ger and observe the polarity. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-
ing off and a message in the screen.
