Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, 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,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
- if you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
- if you are in position D
with the CVT
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
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.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
When the engine is not running,
including periods on standby with
the Stop & Start (AS&G) system, the
function is not operative.

Ta k e c a r e
.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the bonnet is open,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h) since the last engine start,
- the vehicle has restarted less than
10 seconds ago,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,

at every new start using the key or the
START/STOP button.
Reactivation
Press the "AS &G O FF "
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "AS &G O FF "
warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel or instrument panel screen,
and the system no longer operates.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference numbers
available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
Maintenance
The "Auto Stop & Go" system makes
use of advanced technology. All work
on this type of battery must be done
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. The following warning lamps
come on in the instrument panel or instrument
panel screen:
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine using the key or the
START/STOP button.

Four wheel drive system
System which permits the selection of a transmission mode in relation to the driving conditions.
Three transmission modes are available and can be selected manually by the driver in accordance with his requirements.
You can change transmission mode when
stationary or while driving.
The transmission mode can be selected by
turning the control A
.
Selecting the transmission
mode
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel drive and
provides optimum traction for all levels of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the torque
between the front and rear axles is controlled
automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels is
managed electronically by the control unit
in relation to the level of grip, so providing
optimum road holding.
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel drive in
this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difficult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two wheel drive.
This is suitable for use on a tarmac roads or
where the driver considers that there is no risk
of loss of grip (dry road).
Display in the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in the
form of an intermittent display in the instrument
panel screen when the transmission mode is
selected. The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of grip
permits.

Driving
As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
per formance of the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or
muddy areas or in other areas in which
the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through deep
water.
Avoid driving over excessively uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the display to clear before
setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternately
and if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
The vehicle must not be towed with the
front or rear wheels on the ground even
if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)
mode.
If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the vehicle speed at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually:
the vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and second gear or higher must be
engaged in the case of a manual gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually, by
an action on the brake or clutch pedal or if the
ASC system is triggered.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.

Visual assistance
Front parking sensors
Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CVT
gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal. This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.
