Driving
6– With the selector in mode N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
–

With the selector in mode
P and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D
or M.
–

With reverse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases:
–
Deselecting the Sport mode (depending on
equipment).
–


Automatic gearbox in mode N

, vehicle speed
exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments
on the instrument panel, then remains on,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►

Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST

ART/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10

km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Information displayed on
the instrument panel


1.Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication


The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.


On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.


For a suggested maximum speed, the first time
that the vehicle exceeds it by more than 3 mph
(5
km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending
on version).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–

Atmospheric pollution.
–

Towing.
–

Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
–


T
yre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
–

Y
oung drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
–

Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
–


Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Speed setting
recommendations
The driver can select the speed displayed by the
Road signs recognition system as the speed
setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or
adaptive cruise control using the OK button.
If rain is detected, the system proposes a speed
setting to the driver which is lower than the
speed read/sent from the mapping system in
order to adapt to the weather conditions (e.g.
on
motorways, the proposed speed is 68 mph (110
km/h) instead of 81 mph (130 km/h).
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.
Speed setting advance recommendations
With Drive Assist 2.0 activated, the system
detects the next speed limit sign, displays it in
the background and proposes this new speed as
the speed setting.
Once memorised:
–

If the speed setting is lower than the previous
one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new
speed when it gets to the sign.
–


If the speed setting is higher than the previous
one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new
speed when it passes the sign. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

6Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop

& Go function).
–

On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
–


In poor weather conditions.
–


In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver

.
–

Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.
–


When using a ‘space-saver
’ type spare
wheel.
–

When using snow chains or non-slip
covers.
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Specific recommendations on cruise
control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of
the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).
The mode
D or second gear or higher in mode
M

of the automatic gearbox must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines fitted with the
Stop & Start function.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed for the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/65 R17 9 mm
225/55 R18 9 mm
Original tyre size Maximum link size
205/55 R19 9 mm
245/40 R20 -
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
