Stop & Start (e-VTi 68 engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is active,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
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.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.
