In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that
the engine be allowed to run for a few
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the engine and gearbox.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, P mode is engaged
automatically, with the exception of N, in which
case P
mode will be engaged after a delay of
5 seconds (allowing the change to free-wheel).
Check that P mode has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.

In the event of a serious fault
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, away
from the traffic, and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the ignition is switched off,
the gearbox goes into P mode
automatically.You are alerted by the illumination of
this warning lamp.
The corresponding indicator lamps
for the selector panel and the electric
parking brake control lever must
be on, as well as the ones in the
instrument panel.
This is signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal, when the ignition is switched on.
The gearbox goes into back-up mode: D mode
stays in third gear, the steering mounted control
paddles are inoperative, M mode is no longer
available. You may feel a pronounced jolt when

Hill start assist
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held for a momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
- provided 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. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain gradient conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the lever of the electric
parking brake control are on fixed (not
flashing).

Operating fault
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. In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes for a few
moments in the instrument panel,
then remains on, accompanied by the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come
on.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again with the key or the
" START/STOP " button.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Reinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
Under-inflation alert
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
do so. F
I
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F
I
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Operating fault
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads or on slippery or flooded sur faces.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, ... The system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
-
t
he front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of driving lamps),
-
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
r
unning on a rolling road,
-
u
se of snow chains or non-slip covers.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lamps are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
The operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be disturbed in certain
weather conditions, for example: with
accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ...
Clean the front bumper, removing the snow,
mud, ... The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always
remain attentive and able to react at any
time to avoid an accident.
Distance alert
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Limits of operation
In the following cases, it is recommended
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu:
-
w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-
w
hen carrying long objects on roof bars or
a roof rack,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-
w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
-
f
ollowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-
i
f the front bumper has been damaged,
-
i
f the brake lamps are not working. This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment. Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
Important
: the level 1 alert is never
displayed if the " Close" threshold has
been selected.
