Restarting the engine (START mode)
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
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.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
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):
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position N and depress the
brake pedal.
► Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the "START/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

– Reverse gear engaged.
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
– causes premature wear of the tyres.
– increases energy consumption.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following case:
– Vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h)
(depending on engine).
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 if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Checking tyre pressures
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes on the instrument
panel.
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.
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
The warning lamp in this button flashes
and a message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
