Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
t hese warning lamps come on.
Contact the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 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.
Going into engine STOP
mode
The " ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

w

ith a

manual gearbox , at speeds below
12

mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you place the gear lever in neutral and
you release the clutch pedal.
-

w

ith a
5-speed or 6-speed electronic
gearbox , vehicle stationary or at speeds
below 5
mph (8 km/h) (depending on
version), when you press the brake pedal or
place the gear selector into position N .
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position N .
A time counter adds up the time
periods spent in STOP mode
during a
journey. It resets every
time the ignition is switched on
using the key.
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
With a

manual gearbox, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.

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,
exterior temperature, etc.) are present
where the engine is needed to control the
system. The ECO warning lamp flashes for

Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a
flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
b utton in the ECO OFF switch flashes for a few
moments, then remains on.
Have it checked by an authorised dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key. The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must only
be carried out in the dealer network or by
a

qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.Tyre under-inflation
d
etection

Textured paint
Textured paint reacts to light with variations of
appearance and finish that emphasise the car's
lines and form. This paint coating has particles
that remain visible and create a unique satin
relief effect. Its lightly granulated texture gives
it a
surprising feel. Observe the following recommendations
to avoid damaging the paint finish:
-

c
hoose a high pressure wash, or at
least a high water delivery; roller brush
washing is compatible.
-
g
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-
c
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
body using a soft cloth, then allow to
d r y.
-

c
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
H o w eve r,
-

d
o not select the programme with hot
wax finish.
-

d
o not use waterless cleaning.
-

n
ever polish the vehicle.
-

d
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preser vers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out in the dealer network or
by a


qualified workshop.
