Obser ve the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging your accessory. The connection of an electrical device
not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.

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

- 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.
