Operating fault
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the selector from
p
osition P to another position when
the
battery is flat.
To
reduce fuel consumption when
s
tationary for long periods with the
e
ngine running (traffic jam...), position
t
he gear selector at N and apply the
parking
brake, unless it is programmed
i
n automatic mode.
In
this
case,
the
gearbox
switches
to

s
tationary
w
ith
P
ureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
1
20
Diesel versions, when you put the gear
l
ever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system,
a time counter calculates
t
he sum of the periods in STOP
m
ode during a journey. It resets
i
tself to zero every time the
i
gnition is switched on with the
k
ey or the "START/STOP" button.
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary,
when you press the brake pedal
o
r
place the gear selector in position N.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
d
ow n),
-
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
he key or the "START/STOP" button),
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or
be
ing
a
pplied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
a
mbient temperature...) where the engine is
n
eeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
f
lashes for a few seconds, then goes
o
f f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The
Stop

puts
the
engine
temporarily
into

takes
place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect
for
urban
use,
the
Stop

system
reduces
fuel
consumption
and
exhaust
emissions
as
well
as the noise level when stationary.
Never
refuel
with
the
engine
in
STOP
m
ode;
you
must
switch
off
the
ignition
w

lockage of the particle filter.
The presence of this label, in particular with

When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
to be taken before disconnecting
t

on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
