Get Driving -> Stop & Start Guide for Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Driving

In all circumstances, ensure that the

selector is in position P before leaving

your vehicle.

To reduce fuel consumption when

stationary for long periods with the

engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position

the selector on N and apply the parking

brake.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

The information appears in the

instrument panel, in the form of an

ascending or descending arrow and

the recommended gear.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, a message appears

in the instrument panel screen to indicate

a gearbox fault.

In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up

mode and is locked in 3^rdgear. You may feel

a substantial knock when changing from P

to R and from N to R. This will not cause any

damage to the gearbox.

Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed

restrictions permitting.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine.)

The system adapts its gear shift

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the

driver's requirements (power, acceleration,

braking, etc.).

This system reduces fuel consumption by

recommending the most appropriate gear.

Operation

The system never suggests:

engaging first gear,

engaging reverse.

Depending on the driving situation and your

vehicle's equipment, the system may advise

you to skip one or more gears. You can

follow this indication without engaging the

intermediate gears.

Gear shift recommendations must not be

considered as compulsory. In fact, the road

layout, the traffic density and safety remain the

deciding factors when choosing the best gear.

The driver therefore remains responsible for

deciding whether or not to follow the indications

issued by the system.

Stop & Start

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:

The Stop & Start system puts the engine

temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during

stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The

engine restarts automatically – START mode –

as soon as you want to move off.

if you press the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time (braking or

acceleration must be done only with

the right foot),

if you force the selector from position P

to another position when the battery is

flat.

The restart takes place instantly, quickly and

silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system

reduces fuel consumption and exhaust

emissions as well as the noise level when

stationary.

This function cannot be deactivated.

demisting is active,

the exterior temperature is lower than about

0°C or higher than about 35°C.

Stop & Start time counter

mode

(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)

For your convenience during parking

manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available

for a few seconds after coming out of

reverse gear.

Stop & Start does not affect the

functionality of the vehicle, such as for

example, braking, power steering, etc.

A slight delay between the vehicle

stopping and the engine cutting out may

be noticed.

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time

counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode during

a journey.

This operation is perfectly normal.

It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Going into engine START
