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,
a
ccompanied 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

earbox.
Do
not
exceed
60

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
1
2 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(
with PureTech 130, THP 165 and
B
lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
y
ou 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
a
t 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
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
The
Stop & Start system does not affect
t
he 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

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Y ou are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a

General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused

-
w

b
ecomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
