With an electronic or automatic gearbox,
the system is only active in manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel versions with manual
gearbox, in certain driving conditions the
system may suggest changing into neutral so
that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode of Stop & Start). In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a


higher gear. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, etc.)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
-
enga

ging a

lower gear.
On vehicle fitted with a
manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
Hill start assist
This system briefly keeps your vehicle
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up constantly on
the instrument panel.

the functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
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 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

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance, air
conditioning setting, etc.) are present where
the engine is needed for control of the
system or vehicle.
The ECO warning lamp flashes for
a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Manual deactivation/
reactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,

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
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
