Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams,...).
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or when the vehicle is
stationary with the PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox , when the
vehicle is stationary and when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear selector in
position N . If your vehicle is fitted with this
system, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It resets to
zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
STOP mode does not affect the operation
of vehicle systems such as braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available

Fuel
Tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal
and an alert message. When driving, this
audible signal and alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level drops
towards 0 .
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
corresponding section.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the

which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
