Driving
Hill start assist is only available when:
- your foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
- certain conditions of gradient are met,
- with the driver’s door closed.
Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when you release the brake
pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up constantly on
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
The fixed illumination of these
warning lamps indicates a fault with
the system.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Stop & Start
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby – STOP mode – during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically – START mode – as
soon as you wish to leave again. Restarting
occurs instantaneously, 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.
STOP mode
The " ECO " warning lamp illuminates
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby.
