ith the driver’s door closed.
Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up constantly on
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
The fixed illumination of these
warning lamps indicates a fault with
the system.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Stop & Start
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby – STOP mode – during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically – START mode – as
soon as you wish to leave again. Restarting
occurs instantaneously, 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.
STOP mode
The " ECO" warning lamp illuminates
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
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 batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection / off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter On / Pause. The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return to a
speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.
Selection
F Place the thumbwheel at the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (PAUSE).
Switching the speed limiter on is not required to
set the speed limit.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20

mph
(30


km/h).

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.
Activation / Deactivation
It is possible to activate or
deactivate the Active City Brake
from the Driving / Vehicle menu.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Each subsequent time the ignition is switched
on, if the automatic emergency braking function
is deactivated, a temporary message will
be displayed indicating the speed threshold
(6

mph (10 km/h)). Please deactivate the Active City

Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, etc.) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop:
-

signal indicates that a fault has been
detected.
-
F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow, etc.).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same.

Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Operation
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
To ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place
the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact
with the flap of the misfuel prevention
device and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not continue tr ying but introduce a
Diesel filler nozzle instead.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine
of your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular fuel may be required
(specific octane rating, specific trade
name, etc.) to ensure correct operation
of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a
dealer.

As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.Opening
F Open the left-hand front door.
F
P
ull the release lever A , located at the
bottom of the door aperture, towards you.
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.
