Choice of a mode
When the message goes off, the selected
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:

lever in neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

Depending on version, the choice of
a driving mode is also managed by
the i-Cockpit® Amplify
function;

F Press this button; the associated orange indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel.
Pressing the button again reactivates the
system; the associated indicator lamp goes off.
The indicator lamp in the instrument panel goes
off, accompanied by the display of a message. Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from 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.
Malfunction
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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine
may


stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
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.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
,
refer to the corresponding section.

Malfunction
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the

with a "clock" symbol The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
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 aid 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
conditions.
It is possible for the system to 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.

programmed speed
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed limit speed, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance . On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the
speed of your vehicle.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
If it is exceeded for a prolonged period of time,
an audible warning ends up being triggered.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed. When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately.
When the programmed speed remains
below the vehicle's speed for a prolonged
period of time, an audible warning will sound.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "
OFF"
position: the display of information on the
speed limiter disappears.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
