Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main ser vice
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme (ESP)
provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A
.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP 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.
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:
- with the electronic gear control
gearbox,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the selector
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 rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the

comfor table 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.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off.
This operation is per fectly normal.
