Driving

The system adapts its gear shift

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s

requirements (power, acceleration, braking,

etc.).

Malfunction

These warning lamps come on in

the event of a malfunction.

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have

the system checked.

The system never suggests:

– engaging first gear,

Gear efficiency indicator

(Depending on engine.)

– engaging reverse.

►ꢀ Press the button.

A message in the instrument panel confirms the

change of status.

When the function is deactivated, the orange

indicator lamp is lit; if the engine was in standby,

it restarts immediately.

This system reduces fuel consumption by

recommending the most appropriate gear.

Stop & Start

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,

queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically

- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to

move off again.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and the

vehicle's equipment, the system may advise

skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are only

optional. In fact, 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.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Associated indicator lamps

Function activated.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when

stationary.

The function does not affect the functionalities of

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Function deactivated or malfunction.

Opening the bonnet

Before doing anything under the bonnet,

deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid

any risk of injury caused by the engine

restarting automatically.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

Deactivation/Reactivation

The function is activated by default when the

ignition is switched on.

The information appears in the instrument

panel in the form of an arrow and the

recommended gear.

To deactivate/reactivate the function:

►ꢀ 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.

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 does not go into standby if one of

the operating conditions is not met and in the

following cases.

Operation

Main conditions for operation

• Reverse gear engaged.

– The driver’s door must be closed.

– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.

– The state of charge of the battery must be

sufficient.

– The temperature of the engine must be within

its nominal operating range.

Special cases

– Steep slope (rising or falling).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

The engine restarts automatically if the operating

condition is once again met and in the following

cases.

– Vehicle speed exceeds 2.5 mph (4 km/h) with

manual gearbox versions, or PureTech 180 and

PureTech 225 versions with automatic gearbox,

or exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) with BlueHDi 180

versions with automatic gearbox.

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

– The outside temperature must be between 0°C

and 35°C.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available as long as the

vehicle has not reached a speed of 5 mph

(8 km/h).

Putting the engine into standby (STOP

mode)

The engine automatically goes into standby

as soon as the driver indicates the intention of

stopping.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is

not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the

steering wheel.

Malfunctions

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp flashes for a few moments, then

remains on, accompanied by an onscreen

message.

Driving

journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed,

long journey):

Under-inflation alert

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 "START/STOP" button.

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.

►ꢀ 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,

The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V

battery of specific technology and

specification.

– lengthens braking distances,

– causes premature wear of the tyres,

– increases fuel consumption.

All work concerning the battery must be

carried out only by a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

The loss of pressure detected does not

always cause visible bulging of the tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

The inflation pressures specified for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the Identification

markings, refer to the corresponding section.

►ꢀ Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of the four tyres when cold.

►ꢀ If it is not possible to make this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

►ꢀ In the event of a puncture, use the temporary

puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending

on equipment).

Tyre 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.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done 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.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

Snow chains

Reinitialisation

The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow

chains.

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

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the
