w
ith a manual gearbox , when stationary,

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionalities of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- the driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,
-

comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

in STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer (accessible
via the " Driving assistance " menu of the
touch screen tablet).
