Safety
seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–

Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
–

"forward facing" over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the sun's rays,
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–

A

child alone and unsupervised inside a
vehicle.
– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.
–

The keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing



► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
►

Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.

Driving
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
To deactivate/reactivate the function:




► Press the button.
A message in the instrument panel confirms the
change of status.
When the function is deactivated, the indicator
lamp is lit; if the engine was in standby, it restarts
immediately.
To allow continuous operation of the air conditioning, deactivate the Stop & Start.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into 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.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, place the gear lever
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into
standby.
Automatic engine shutdown is only possible when the speed of the vehicle
has exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated engine shutdowns when driving
slowly.
Never leave the vehicle without first
switching the ignition off with the key.
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 activated when:
– the system is initialising,
–

the driver's door is open,
–


the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
–


the air conditioning is on,
–


the rear screen demisting is on,
–


the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–


the reverse gear is engaged for the parking
manoeuvre,
–


some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, particle filter regeneration,
braking assistance, exterior temperature, etc.)

Driving
6where the engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
–
during intensive use of Stop & Start, it may
be deactivated to conserve starting ability; go
to a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the function
reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument panel flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START
mode
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of
the engine is only possible by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine restarts.
If, after an automatic restart in START mode, the
driver does not perform any action on the vehicle
within 3 minutes, the system stops the engine
permanently. The engine can only be restarted
with the ignition key.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
The START mode may be invoked automatically
in the following circumstances:
–

the vehicle is free-wheeling on a gradient,
–


the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–


the air conditioning is on,
– the engine has been stopped for around 3
minutes with Stop & Start,
–

some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance, air
conditioning setting, etc.) where the engine is
needed for control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, a message appears in the
instrument panel screen, accompanied by
this indicator lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
While in STOP mode with a manual
gearbox, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, restarting
may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfastens their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of this
indicator lamp, and the display of a message.

In the event of a malfunction, the Stop &
Start is deactivated and this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.In the event of a malfunction
in STOP mode, the engine can be restarted by
fully
depressing the clutch pedal or putting the
gear lever in neutral.
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:
–

the vehicle must be stationary
, engine running,
foot on the brake,
–

the gradient of the road must be steeper than
5%,
–


uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
–


downhill, 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.

Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
