Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the engine 
goes into standby automatically:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below 
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with 
the PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 
and 120 Diesel versions, when you place 
the gear lever in neutral and you release 
the clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum of the 
periods in STOP mode during a journey. It 
resets itself to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on with the key or the START/STOP  
button. -
 
w
ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or put the gear selector in N mode.
The Stop & Start
 
system puts the engine 
temporarily into standby - STOP mode
 
- 
during stops in the traffic (red lights, 
traffic jams,
 
...). The engine restarts 
automatically
 
-
 
START
 
mode - as soon as 
you want to move off. The restart takes place 
instantly, 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.
Never refuel with the engine in 
STOP
  mode; you must switch off the 
ignition with the key or the S TA R T/
STOP  button.
For your comfort, during parking 
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not 
available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the 
operation of vehicle systems such as 
braking, power steering...

Deactivation / Reactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need 
to maintain the 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 switched 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 
S TA R T

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.

brake pedal,
-
 
a
 utomatically, if operation of the dynamic 
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed setting.The cruise control is switched on
 
manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-  
w
 ith a manual gearbox, the 
engagement of third gear or higher,
-  
w
 ith an automatic gearbox, the gear 
selector in D mode or second gear 
or higher in M mode.
Speed regulation remains active after 
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a 
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator 
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid 
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace 
the need to observe speed limits, nor the 
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to 
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

or Speed limit recognition , refer to the 
corresponding section.

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 . F

 ehicle moving, press one of the buttons   2 
or 3 : the current speed of your vehicle 
becomes the cruise speed setting.
The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at 
"Normal"  (2 dashes).
Otherwise, the last setting made will be used 
when switching on the system.
When the cruise control is operating, 
Stop & Start is automatically 
deactivated.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused  
manually by:
-
 
a
 ction by the driver:
●
 
o
 n button 4 ,
●
 
o
 n the brake pedal,
●
 
o
 n the electric parking brake control,
●
 
w
 hen changing from D to N with an 
automatic gearbox.
-
 
o
 r automatically, if operation of the ESC 
system is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following braking of the vehicle 
bringing it to a complete stop, the 
system holds the vehicle stationary; 
the cruise control is paused. The driver 
should press the accelerator pedal to 
move off, then reactivate the system 
by exceeding 18
  mph (30 km/h) and 
pressing button
  2, 3 or 4 .
If the driver takes no action following 
this immobilisation, the electric parking 
brake is applied automatically after a 
few minutes.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed setting.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with 
parking. It detects a parking space then 
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates the steering while the driver 
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and 
clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of 
entry into and exit from a parking space, the 
system provides visual and audible information 
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres 
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards 
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre, the steering 
wheel turns quickly: do not hold the 
steering wheel, do not place your 
hands between the spokes of the 
steering wheel and take care with 
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties, 
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it 
prevents a change to STOP mode of 
Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation 
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
This manoeuvring assistance system 
cannot, in any circumstances, replace 
the need for vigilance on the part of the 
driver.
The driver must remain in control of their 
vehicle ensuring that the space remains 
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may 
not detect small obstacles located in 
their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time by 
gripping the steering wheel. The Park Assist system provides assistance for 
the following manoeuvres:
A.
 E
ntry into a parallel parking space
B.

obstacle.
The operation indicator lamp goes off in the 
instrument panel and a message is displayed 
accompanied by an audible signal.
The driver should then take back control of the 
vehicle's steering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
-  w hen towing a trailer, connected 
electrically,
-
 
i
 f the driver's door is opened,
-
 
i
 f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph 
(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power 
steering, this warning lamp flashes in 
the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your 
vehicle and the space is too great, the 
system may not be able to measure the 
space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope 
of the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for 
example) is not taken into account by the 
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered by road 
dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a 
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate 
it to repeat the measurement. In the event of a fault, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few seconds, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the fault occurs during the use 
of the system, the warning lamp 
goes
 
off. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance at 
least 30 cm away from the sensors.
