Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Driving Stop & Start

104Drivingand from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:–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.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.If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, do not try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.Gear efficiency indicator(Depending on engine.)This system helps reduce fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.OperationDepending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to skip one or more gears.Gear shift recommendations should not be considered 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.This function cannot be deactivated.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.The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s requirements (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).The system never suggests:–engaging first gear;–engaging reverse.Stop & StartThe 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.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.Opening the bonnetBefore doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury caused by the engine restarting automatically.Driving on flooded roadsBefore 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.Deactivation/ActivationWith button►To deactivate or reactivate the system, press this button.The indicator lamp is lit when the system is deactivated.With audio system/touch screenThe system is activated and deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.The system reactivates automatically whenever the engine is started by the driver.

It is reset to zero every time the ignition is switched on.Special cases:The engine will not go into standby if all of the conditions for operation are not met and in the following cases.–Steep slope (ascending or descending).–Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10km/h) since the last engine start (with the key or the “START/STOP” button).–The electric parking brake is applied or being applied.–Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment.–Demisting active.In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.After the engine has restarted, STOP mode is not available until the vehicle has reached a speed of 5 mph (8km/h).During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear or turning the steering wheel.Restarting the engine (START mode)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:
106Driving•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.Special casesThe engine will restart automatically if all conditions for operation are met again and in the following case.–Speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph (3km/h) (depending on the engine).In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.MalfunctionsDepending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel.The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by an audible signal.Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The vehicle stalls in STOP modeAll 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.The Stop & Start system requires a 12V battery of specific technology and specification.All work concerning the battery must be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Under-inflation detectionThis 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.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 the spare wheel) as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed, long journey):–worsens road-holding.–lengthens braking distances.–causes premature wear of the tyres.–increases fuel consumption.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.Checking tyre pressuresThis check should be done when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10km) at moderate speeds).Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.Spare wheelThe steel spare wheel does not have an under-inflation detection sensor.Under-inflation alertThis 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.The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre.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 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).The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.ReinitialisationReinitialise the system after adjusting one or more tyre pressures and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, make sure that the pressures of the four tyres
