Going into engine STOP mode

For your comfort when parking, STOP

lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal,

of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key. 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 star t using
the key,

comfor table temperature in the passenger
