You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must 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.
Stopping the vehicle

flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the instrument panel
screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
have it checked by P

uge
Ot
or a qualified
workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-

m

ove to position N to engage neutral,
-

l

eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
Creep function (moving
without pressing the
accelerator)
this function greatly facilitates manoeuvring
of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in a
t r a f f i c j a m …) .
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position A , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator pedal).
For your safety, this function is only activated
if you press the brake pedal when changing to
for ward drive or reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door and then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal reactivates the function.
th

pressing the accelerator pedal if the
lever stays in position N for more than
2 seconds with the engine running, and
the brake pedal is not pressed before
selecting position A , M or R.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is

Stop & Startthe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - StO P mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). th e
engine restarts automatically - StA Rt mode - as soon as you want to move off. th e restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
with the e-
tH

P 165 version, when you put
the gear lever into neutral and release the
clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or you put the gear selector in
position N ,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
S
tO

P mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
t h e key. Never refuel with the engine in S
tO

P
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, S
tO

P mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S
tO

P mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
StOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he vehicle is stopped on a steep slope
(up or down),
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome 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" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

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.

-

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

i
n particular conditions on a slope,
-

w

a manual gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position D or M on an
automatic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily 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
