temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

Without using the accelerator:
- Move the switch up (+).
A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in steps of
5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until the speed
required is reached,
- move the switch up (+) or down (-).
T o memorise a speed lower than the previous one:
- move the switch down (-).
A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph
