Activation
F Press and hold the Sport button until
the ambience of the back-lighting in the
instrument panel changes.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.
If the LED flashes, activation is not
possible (for example if Park Assist or
snow mode is selected) and so the back-
lighting returns to its normal mode.
If the flashing of the LED persists,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Display of the dynamic
vehicle parameters
This telemetry information (longitudinal
and lateral acceleration, power produced,
turbocharger pressure, etc.) is given as an
indication only.

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate 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.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and a
recommended gear.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in 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
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine goes
into standby automatically: -

W
ith a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
2 mph (3 km/h) (with BlueHDi 130 S&S
engine) or with the vehicle stationary (other
engines), when you place the gear selector
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
- With an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear selector lever in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode does not activate, mainly when:
-
t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
falling),
-

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 by the
driver,
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is active,
-

s
ome temporary conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) make this
necessary to ensure control of a system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the
engine restarts automatically:
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.

etc.) require the engine to be running to
control the system or the vehicle.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation/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 switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched on.
With the button on the
dashboard
F Press this button; the associated orange indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation is confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel.
Pressing the button again reactivates the
system; the associated indicator lamp goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by a message in the

The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
b attery 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 batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations

flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Memorising speeds
Touch screen
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.

Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
the display by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
This system allows the maximum authorised
speed to be displayed in the instrument panel,
according to the speed limits in the country in
which you are driving, using: -

S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-
S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The speed limit units (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in. The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
The system may not display the speed
limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign
within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
