Stop & Start - PEUGEOT 3008 Handbook

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights,
traffic jams, ...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115
and 120 Diesel versions, when you place
the gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal,
- with an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in N mode.
A time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey. It
resets itself to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the START/STOP
button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key or the START/
STOP button.
