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
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal.
-

w
ith a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), when
you press the brake pedal or put the gear
selector in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
a

time counter calculates the sum

oP m

ode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he 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 using
t h e key,
-

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,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, ST

Fuel tank
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is
reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it first
comes on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.
Filling
a label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
y ou of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To fill the tank safely:
F

t
he engine must be switched off,
F
o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
i
nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
F
r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after
the 3rd cut- off of the pump
; this could
cause malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F
p
ut the cap back in place,
F

t
urn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
F

c
lose the flap.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (
di

esel), refer also to the
"Checks" section. Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel) or
37 litres (LPG); (Depending on version:
approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
op

ening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system.
