To obtain more dynamic driving in order to
benefit from the maximum performance of the
vehicle.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
(Depending on engine)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving 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.
Operation
4WD (4-wheel drive)
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the traffic density and
safety remain determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow
the system’s advice.
(Depending on version)
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially
suited to driving on snow-covered roads and
difficult terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford
crossings, at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
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.
The settings are changed via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
A message on the instrument panel confirms the
change of status.
The system cannot be deactivated.
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it
switches to Hybrid mode.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
When the function is deactivated, if the engine
was in standby, it restarts immediately.
The information appears on the
instrument panel, in the form of an arrow
and the recommended gear.
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
Associated indicator lamps
Function activated.
The system adapts the gear change
instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style
(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph
(135 km/h) using the electric motors; above this
speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels
only.
Function deactivated or malfunction.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
– engaging first gear;
– engaging reverse gear.
123
Driving
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
– With a manual gearbox, at speeds below 2
mph (3 km/h) on 1.5 BlueHDi versions, or with
the vehicle stationary on 1.2 PureTech versions,
when you place the gear lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
– With an automatic gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) on BlueHDi versions, or with
the vehicle stationary on other versions, when
you depress the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in mode N.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle
has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
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.
Restarting the engine (START mode)
Time counter
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.
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby
during the journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on.
With an automatic gearbox:
– With the selector in mode D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
– 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.
Special cases:
Operation
Main conditions for operation
The engine will not go into standby if 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).
– Electric parking brake applied or being
applied.
– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
– The driver’s door must be closed.
– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.
– The level of charge in the battery must be
sufficient.
– The temperature of the engine must be within
its nominal operating range.
– With reverse gear engaged.
– The outside temperature must be between
0°C and 35°C.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases:
– Vehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h)
with 2.0 BlueHDi versions with automatic
gearbox in mode D, or 2 mph (3 km/h) with other
versions.
Putting the engine into standby
(STOP mode)
The engine automatically enters standby mode
as soon as the driver indicates their intention to
stop:
– Demisting active.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
124
Driving
– The electric parking brake is being applied.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
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 the last values stored during
the reinitialisation request into account. It is
therefore essential that the tyre pressure is
correct during the operation. This operation is
the driver’s responsibility.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
6
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.
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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
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):
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 "START/STOP" button.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
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.
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
– causes premature wear of the tyres.
– increases energy consumption.
The loss of pressure detected may not
always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
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.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system alerts the driver when one or more
tyres have a drop in pressure.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
