t he A ut
O or sequential mode used

before switching off the ignition remains
in memory when the vehicle is restarted.Stopping - Starting on a slope
this gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
hold
the vehicle on a slope, apply the parking
brake instead; failure to follow this
procedure can overheat the clutch and
damage the gearbox.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate

t

he gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:
-

vehicle speed,
-


engine speed,
-


accelerator pedal position.
to optimise driving comfort and obtain the


most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration.
By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
down, the vehicle moves off quickly.

HILL START ASSIST
An integral part of the DSC system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
t

his function is only active when:
-

the vehicle is completely stationary
, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

the engine is running,
-


the gradient is steeper than 5 %, Operation
On a slope, with engine running and the


vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
-

provided you are in first gear or neutral

with a manual gearbox,
-

provided you are in position
A or M with
an electronic gearbox,
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment
when you release the brake pedal. After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually.
t

hen ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system
checked.
In S
t
OP
mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.

- with a manual gearbox, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down. Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
t

he S t
OP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

reverse gear is engaged,
-

some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP & S TART
the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - S t
OP
mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...).
t

he engine restarts
automatically - S
t
ARt mode - as soon as

you want to move off.
t

he restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
t

he "S" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
In the S t
OP
mode Stop & Start, hill
start assist is inactive.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in S

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
t
he S t
ARt mode is invoked automatically

when:
-

the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-


the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-

some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system. Good practice
With a manual gearbox in S
t
OP
mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in S
t
OP
mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key.
t

his is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in S
t
ARt
mode, the driver takes no action on the


the vehicle during the next
3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively.
t

he
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.
Going into engine START mode
t

he "S" warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:
-

with a manual gearbox

, depress the
clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox

:
●

gear lever in position

A or M, release the
brake pedal,
●

or engage rever

se gear. In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In S
t
OP

mode, moving the gear lever
on an electronic gearbox starts the
engine, in anticipation of moving off.
If the engine stops automatically when
the vehicle is on a slope, as hill start
is only active with the engine running, it is
necessary to restart the engine by engaging
a forward gear and releasing the brake
pedal.
