temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
- if you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
- if you are in position D
with the CVT
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake.

warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel or the instrument
panel screen and the engine goes into
standby after a few seconds:

, with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake, when
you put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the START/STOP
button.
When the engine is stopped
automatically, the operation of certain
vehicle systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering... are modified.
Ta k e c a r e
.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the bonnet is open,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h) since the last engine start,
- the vehicle has restarted less than
10 seconds ago,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
- the "AS &G"
warning lamp is
flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
