The Peugeot 208 manufactured in recent years is equipped, like all cars produced during the same period, with the Start and Stop system, known to drivers and designed for fuel consumption savings and reduction of exhaust emissions. We find a video example attached here.

It activates automatically, but it is also possible to deactivate it while driving, if desired, although not permanently; in fact, every time we start the engine, it is automatically enabled. To disable it, as mentioned, we need to enter the Settings Menu, select Start and Stop, and turn it off by pressing Off.
