Stopping the vehicleOperating 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 fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 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, it is essential that you apply the
parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless
it is programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the
engine running, it is essential to 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. It is essential to press the brake pedal
when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking speed.

Gear efficiency indicator*
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
* Depending on engine.The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel 136 and 150 versions with
manual gearbox, the system may suggest
changing into neutral so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start),
in certain driving conditions. In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.

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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, 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...
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. -

ReactivationOperating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" switch
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 the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary
to switch off the ignition and start the engine
again using the key.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and
observe the polarity.
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.
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the 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 .
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.
When driving on flooded roads or
crossing a ford, switch off the Stop &
Start and drive at walking speed.

Particle filter (Diesel)
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
12 V batteryThe battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to
be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the replacement
intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification. The involvement of
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is essential when replacing or
disconnecting the battery. The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multifunction
screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
For more information on checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
