Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is active
only in manual mode.The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp in the
instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , at a speed below
12
mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you move the gear lever into neutral
and release the clutch pedal.
-
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at a speed below 5
mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake pedal or
move the gear selector into position N .
If your vehicle is so equipped, a time counter
calculates the total time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on using the key.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or several) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow this advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Driving

109
With a 6 -speed electronic gearbox, for
your convenience when parking, the
STOP mode is not available for the few
seconds that follow disengagement of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not triggered when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-
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 h e key,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is on, -
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature, etc.) are present
which require the engine to be running to
assure control of the system.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode

pedal released, when you move the gear
selector to position A or M ,
•
o
r when you engage reverse gear. With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if
a gear is engaged without fully pressing
the clutch pedal, a message is displayed
asking you to press the clutch pedal to
restart the engine.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
As a safety measure or to maintain comfort
levels in the vehicle, START mode is activated
automatically when:
-
y
ou open the driver's door,
-
y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16 mph
(25
km/h) with a manual gearbox or 7 mph
(11
km/h) with an electronic 6 -speed
gearbox,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature, etc.) are present
which require the engine to be running to
assure control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.

Manual deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment, it may be preferable
to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
F
A
t any time, press the " ECO OFF"
switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch indicator lamp
coming on, accompanied by a message on the
screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Manual reactivation
F Press the ECO OFF switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch indicator lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel. The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the ECO OFF switch indicator lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
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.
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 in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations
, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
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.
Fitting a battery not approved by
PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
For more information on the Battery , refer

Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-
t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-
u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
-
do
wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message in
the screen. Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop.

Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need
to check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
or
-
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,
or
-
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel
rim type) does not have a sensor.
In the event of a problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment, the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels are not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Tyre under-inflation
detection with
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert once a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not eliminate the need
to check the tyre inflation pressures
(including the spare) every month and
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases

Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. 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 system has been reinitialised
