Hill start assist
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
-

i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
-

i
f you are in position A or M with an

Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while

Stop & StartThe 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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With an electronic gearbox, for your
comfort during parking manoeuvres,
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
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP"
button.
The
"ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:

below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear lever in
position N .
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear lever in position N .If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter 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
key or the "START/STOP" button.
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
