Driving











Stop & Start
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.


Operation

warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:


- with the electronic gear control
gearbox,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the selector
lever in position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
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
off.

This operation is per fectly normal.
