Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
t
aken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
p
ull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
B
raking takes place while the control lever is
b
eing pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
i
s
r
eleased.
The
ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
t
he vehicle during emergency braking.
If
the emergency braking malfunctions, the
m
essage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
d
isplayed.
If
a failure of the ABS and DSC systems
o
ccurs, signalled by the illumination of one
o
r both warning lamps in the instrument
p
anel, then stability of the vehicle is no longer
g
uaranteed.
In
this event, stability must be assured by the
d
river by repeating alternate "pull-release"
a
ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
emergency braking should only be
u
sed in an exceptional situation.
Repeat
this
procedure
to

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...).
T he engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the i
nstrument panel and the engine goes into
s
tandby
a
utomatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
1
2 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(
with e-THP 130 and 165 petrol versions
a
nd BlueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions),
w
hen you place the gear lever in neutral,
a
nd you release the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds
b
elow 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
b
rake pedal or place the gear selector lever
i
n position N ,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
pedal or place the gear selector lever
i
n position N . Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the START/STOP button.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the
f
unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
braking, power steering...
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
he 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

This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
for

use,
the
Stop
