Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel and the enginegoes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox,at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N ,
- with an automatic gearbox,
with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N.If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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 start usingthe START/STOP button,
- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,
- demistin
g is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for a few seconds then goesoff.This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts 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 & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears andclutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be necessary to move for wards and backwards more than once.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheelturns quickly: do not hold the steeringwheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
When Park Assist is activated, itprevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that thespace remains clear throughout themanoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time bygripping the steering wheel.
The Park Assist s
ystem provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
- entr
y into a parallel parking space
- exitin
g from a parallel parking space
- ba
y parking
The Park Assist system takes control of the power steering for a maximumof 4 manoeuvre cycles. The functionis deactivated after these 4 cycles.If you think that your vehicle is notpositioned correctly, you should then take control of the steering to carry outthe manoeuvre.
The Park Assist system cannot workwith the engine off.
