Driving
– With a manual gearbox: with the gear lever in
neutral and the clutch pedal released.
– With an automatic gearbox: with the brake
pedal depressed until the vehicle stops or the
gear selector in position N, with the vehicle
stopped.
Engine restarting (START mode)
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again.
► With a manual gearbox: with the clutch
pedal fully depressed.
► With an automatic gearbox:
• With the selector in position D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
• With the selector in position N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
• With the selector in position P and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N,
D or M.
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 "START/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby
during a journey. It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on.
Special cases:
The engine will not go into standby if all of the
conditions for operation are not met and in the
following cases.
– Steep slope (ascending or descending).
– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)
since the last engine start (with the key or the
“START/STOP” button).
– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
– Demisting active.
• Reverse gear engaged.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
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.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Special cases
The engine restarts automatically if all the
operating conditions are met again and in the
following cases.
– With a manual gearbox: vehicle speed
exceeds 2.5 mph (4 km/h),
– With an 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.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Under-inflation detection does not
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) as well as before a long
journey.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle
has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
