Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams,...).
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
The " ECO" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or when the vehicle is
stationary with the PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox , when the
vehicle is stationary and when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear selector in
position N . If your vehicle is fitted with this
system, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It resets to
zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
STOP mode does not affect the operation
of vehicle systems such as braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not activated when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-

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 (with the
key or the "START/STOP" button),
-

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,
-
c
ertain special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) require the
engine to be running to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the " ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

t
he electric parking brake is being applied,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,

Reactivation
F Press the ECO OFF switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message. The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the ECO OFF switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message
may also be displayed asking you to put

The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must only
be carried out in the dealer network or by
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
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 advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section. 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.Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-

i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox, On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamps light up constantly on
the instrument panel.
-
i
f you are in position D or M with an

F Press the button for the desired speed setting.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed speed limit, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, 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.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to position 0 :
displayed speed limiter information
disappears.
Operating fault
The use of mats not approved by the
manufacturer may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver, an audible signal
supplements the alert.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) as well as:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox, the engagement of
fourth gear or higher,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, the gear
selector at position D or second gear or
higher in manual mode.
The operation of the cruise control can be
momentarily interrupted (paused):
-

b

y pressing the Pause control or by
pressing the brake or clutch pedals,
-

a

utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. 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.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.
