the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down).
t
h
e gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
th

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

(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.

the system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.the system is active again; this is confirmed by
the indicator lamp in the switch going off and a
message in the screen.
Operating fault

indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" switch
flashes then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in S
tO

P mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary

th

is system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from P
e
uge
Ot d
ealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
Pe ugeOt introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
to c

harge the battery, use a 12 V charger and
observe the polarity.
Maintenance
the Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
