s

tarting   on   a   gradient,   the   time   it   takes   to  
m

ove   your   foot   from   the   brake   pedal   to   the  
a

ccelerator
 ped
al.
This
  system   only   operates   when:
-

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

c
ertain conditions of slope are met,
-
 
w
ith   the   driver’s   door   closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
-
 
p
rovided   you   are   in   first   gear   or   neutral   with  
a

  manual   gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position D or M with 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.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning lamps come on, accompanied by an alert
message.

(

towards

R), then push it for wards and
then
  to   the   left.
Only
  engage   it   when   the   vehicle   is   at   a  
c

omplete   stop.   In   this   position,   the   front  
w

heels   are   locked.   Ensure   that   the   gear  
s

elector   is   correctly   positioned.
To
  move   the   gear   selector,   switch   on  
t

he   ignition   or   start   the   engine.
If
  the   battery   is   not   sufficiently   charged,  
i

t   is   not   possible   to   move   the   gear  
s

elector.
To come out of position P
, move the
gear   selector   to   the   right   to   the   desired

utomatic operation is activated, accelerate
away.
Never
  press   the   accelerator   and   brake  
p

edals   at   the   same   time.   Braking   and  
a

cceleration should be done only with
the
  right   foot.   Pressing   both   pedals  
t

ogether   risks   damaging   the   gearbox.
If
  the   brake   does   not   release  
a

utomatically,   check   that   the   front   doors  
a

re   correctly   closed. Never leave children unsupervised in
the
  vehicle   when   the   engine   is   running.

e

ngage   position   D   to   accelerate.
When

selected, the vehicle will move even if
the
  accelerator   is   not   pressed.

Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

ignal   and   a   message   appears:
F
 
m
ove   the   gear   selector   to   position   P;   the  
a

udible   signal   stops   and   the   message  
d

isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear  selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied   by   a   message   and   an  
a

udible
 s
ignal.
In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up  
m

ode   and   stays   in   3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R and from
N to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the  
g

earbox.

Stop & Start
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel  and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au

tomatically:
-

w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
  mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B

lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
you
  place   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r

elease the clutch pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
  pedal   or   place   the   gear   selector   lever  
i

n position N . Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   START/STOP   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system 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

he   START/STOP   button,
-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

ing
 a
pplied,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,
-
 
d
emisting   is   selected,
-
 
s
ome   special   conditions   (battery   charge,  
e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for  a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
 
for
 
urban
 
use,
 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system
 
reduces
 
fuel
 
consumption
 
and
 
exhaust
 
emissions
 
as
 
well
  as   the   noise   level   when   stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP
 
mode
 
during
 
a
 
journey.
 
It
 
resets
 
itself
 
to
 
z

ero
 
every

the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
on
 
with

The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually:   it   requires   that   the   speed   of   the  
v

ehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150 km/h),
  as   well   as   the   engagement   of:
-

General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually o r a utomatically:
-
 
b
y   pressing   button   4,
-
 
b
y   pressing   the   brake   pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking
  brake   control   lever,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached
  (calculated   according   to   the  
r

elative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting
 c

hosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too
  low.

the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
It
 
is
 
recommended
 
that
 
you
 
always
 
keep
 y

our
 
feet
 
close
 
to
 
the
 
pedals.
If
 
the
 
speed
 
setting
 
selected
 
is
 
above
 
9

0
 
mph
 
(150
 
km/h),
 
the
 
system
 
switches
 
t

o standard cruise control operation,
with
 
no
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
inter-vehicle
 
s

afe
 
distance
 
(a
 
message
 
appears
 
in
 
t

he
 
instrument
 
panel). The
  inter-vehicle   time   setting   is   kept   in  
m

emory   on   switching   off   the   ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day
 
and
 
at
 
night,
 
in
 
fog
 
or
 
in
 
moderate
 
r

ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking s ystem,   but   works   only   with   engine   braking.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited:   there   will
 n

o   longer   be   any   adjustment   of   speed   if   the
 d

ifference   between   the   programmed   speed
 s

etting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front
 b

ecomes   too   high   (18   mph   (30   km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmed  speed   setting   and   the  
s

peed of the vehicle in front is too
great,
  the   speed   cannot   be   adjusted:  
t

he cruise control is automatically
deactivated.

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually,
it requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and
112 mph
  (30   and   180   km/h).
An
  automatic   gearbox   must   be   in   position   D
or M . Other wise,
  the   last   setting   made   will   be   used  
w

hen   switching   on   the   system.
Switching   off   the   ignition   cancels   any  
p

rogrammed   speed   setting.
When   the   cruise   control   is   operating,  S
