-
y

ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (2 mph
(3
km/h) with PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions), or
2
mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox.
-

t
he electric parking brake is being applied,
-
s

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

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
automatic gearbox.

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.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Depending on the version of the instrument
panel you have, the start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by:
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
- fixed illumination of the particle filter warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message that there is a risk of
blockage of the particle filter,
or
-
t
emporary illumination of
the Ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that
there is a risk of blockage of the
particle filter. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least
37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
