Special aspects of automatic
mode
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the road speed and engine speed
permit.
Starting the vehicle
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.From mode P

mode is activated and remains indicated in the
instrument panel (except for "Normal" mode). ECO, Comfor t, Normal, Spor t, Manual.
Pressing the control displays the modes in the
instrument panel.
Gear shift indicator
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 efficiency 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.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
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 a speed below
2 mph (3
km/h), when you place the gear
lever in neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox:
Depending on version, the choice of
a driving mode is also managed by
the i-Cockpit® Amplify
function;
refer to the corresponding section.
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Driving

A time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during the journey. It is reset to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the "START/STOP " button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear or turning the steering wheel.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems, such as
braking, etc.

For more information on Driving
recommendations
, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction

immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is
switched

on.It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again with the " START/STOP"
button.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressures while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. 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
