You must press the brake pedal firmly 
while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle 
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the 
vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on 
the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must apply the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume 
control temporarily at any time using the 
steering mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles permits manual 
selection of the gears in situations which 
require a more rapid change-down than in 
the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, 
leaving a car park with a steep gradient, 
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if 
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains 
displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox resumes 
automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can 
change to position N to be in neutral.
In this case, you must apply the parking 
brake  to immobilise the vehicle.
AUTO  and - appear in the instrument 
panel.
Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this 
warning lamp comes on and 
AUTO  flashes, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message in the screen, 
this indicates a gearbox fault.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

Operating fault
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. With the ignition on, the flashing 
of this warning lamp and the 
flashing of AUTO
, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a message in 
the instrument panel screen, indicates a 
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified 
workshop.
You must press the brake pedal firmly 
when starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must 
manually apply the parking brake to 
immobilise the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel and the 
engine goes into standby:
-
 
for  e-HDi Diesel engines:
●
 
w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds 
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you 
place the gear lever into neutral, and you 
release the clutch pedal,
●
 
w
ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds 
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press 
the brake pedal or place the gear lever 
into position N ,
-
 
for  e-VTI and  e -THP petrol  engines and 
BlueHDi Diesel  engines, with the vehicle 
stationary. Never refuel with the engine in 
STOP
  mode; you must switch off 
the
  ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking 
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not 
available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP 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 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.
A time counter calculates the sum 
of the periods in STOP mode 
during a journey. It rests itself 
to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on with the key. The "ECO"
 warning lamp flashes for 
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start
 
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). 
The
 
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The 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.

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 switch warning lamp going off, 
accompanied by a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the 
"ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then 
comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the 
vehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps 
come on. It is then necessary to switch off 
the ignition and start the engine again using 
t h e
 
key. Before doing anything under the 
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to avoid any risk of injury 
resulting from automatic operation of 
S TA R T  m o d e .
This system requires a 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 Stop & Start system makes use 
of advanced technology. All work on 
this type of battery must be done by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from 
a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move 
forwards and backwards more than once.The Park Assist system cannot in any 
circumstances replace the care and 
responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of 
their vehicle ensuring that the space 
remains clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors 
may not detect small obstacles located 
in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, 
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with 
the correct operation of the parking 
assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel 
turns quickly: do not hold the steering 
wheel, do not place your hand between 
the spokes of the steering wheel and 
take care with loose and bulky clothing, 
scarves, handbags... There is a risk of 
injury. For entry into a parking space (parallel 
parking) the system does not detect 
spaces which are clearly much smaller 
or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system 
is activated automatically during 
manoeuvres; it is therefore possible 
that a symbol comes on in the screen, 
accompanied by an audible signal, 
without affecting the manoeuvre.
The system provides assistance in entering and 
exiting a parking space when parallel parking. The driver can take control at any time by 
gripping the steering wheel.
The selection of the type of manoeuvre 
(entering or exiting a parallel parking 
space) prevents a change to STOP 
mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, this selection restarts 
the engine.

2008_en_Chap05_conduite_ed01-2015
In bad weather and in winter, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered by 
road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a 
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate 
it manually to repeat the measurement. If the lateral distance between your vehicle 
and the space is too great, the system may 
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope 
of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not 
taken into account by the Park Assist 
system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the 
vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically:
-
 o
n switching off the ignition,
-
 
i
f the engine stalls,
-
 
i
