traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon
as you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.

emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, ...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition

of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.

essage is displayed.
If the vehicle is stationary in Stop mode, the
engine immediately restarts.
Manual reactivation
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly
on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury related
to an automatic change to START
mode.
In some circumstances, such as maintaining
a comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate
Stop & Start.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is on.
This control switches off the Stop & Start
system.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must
be done by a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
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

The collision can be automatically
avoided if the speed difference between
your vehicle and the one ahead is not
more than 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
seriousness of the accident by lowering
the speed of impact.
The automatic braking triggered:

an be even more effective if the driver
presses the brake pedal more firmly,

Park Assist
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 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.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part 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. 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.
The driver can take back control of the steering
at any time by grasping the wheel.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
the correct operation of the parking
assistance system. The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.

208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
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 driver 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

f no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
-

obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically:
- w hen towing a trailer,
-

i
f the driver's door is opened,
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70 km/h).
To switch the system off for a prolonged period,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a
few seconds. If the problem occurs while using
the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps
indicate a fault with the power
steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. This warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.
Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Refuelling
To fill the tank safely:
F t he engine must be switched off,
F

o
pen the fuel filler flap 1 ,
F

i
nsert the key in the cap 2 , then turn it to
the left,
F

r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap 3 ,
F

f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
"Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
