Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.On vehicle fitted with a manual
gearbox, the arrow is accompanied by
the gear recommended.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.
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,
-
enga

ging a lower gear.
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.

In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" button
flashes for a few moments, 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
in the instrument panel come on. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery with a special specification
and technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
Press this button to deactivate the system.
Deactivation is confirmed by illumination of the
indicator lamp in the button and the display of
a message.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
system.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Deactivation / Manual
reactivation
In certain cases, such as the need to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time, once
the ignition is on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched on.
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.
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.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A
