STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (4/4)
Do not use the engine remote start-up function or its programming when:
– the vehicle is in a garage or in a confined space.
Risk of poisoning or suffocation by exhaust gas emissions.
– the vehicle is covered with a protective cover. Fire hazard.
– the bonnet is open or before it opens. Risk of burns or serious injury .
Depending on the country, the use of the remote starting function or its programming can be proh\
ibited by the legis-
lation and/or the regulations in force.
Before using this function, check the legislation and/or the regulations\
for the country in force .

2.7
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.If the
 warning light flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the
 warning light
appears on the instrument panel to warn
you when the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi- ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– the vehicle’s speed is zero for around one second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
The ignition must be
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see sec-
tion on “Starting, stopping
the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.

2.8

in Section 2);
– for vehicles with an automatic or sequential gearbox, the gradient is
steeper than approximately 12%;
– the engine temperature is too low;
– the anti-pollution system is required;
or
– ...
The warning light
 lights up on
the instrument panel to alert you that
engine standby is not available.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
always stop the engine (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, when negotiating
a junction for instance, it is possible to
keep the engine running so as to be
ready to move off quickly.
Automatic or sequential gearbox
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The brake pedal is released, position D or M engaged or,
– the brake pedal is released with the gear lever in position N and the
handbrake off, or
– the brake pedal is pressed again, with position N engaged and the
handbrake applied, or
– position R is engaged, or
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.
For manual gearboxes:
– The gearbox is in neutral and the clutch pedal is slightly depressed, or
– the engine is in gear and the clutch pedal is pressed right down.

Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to gua-
rantee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– The outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0°C or
higher than around 30°C);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Special note: with the engine on
standby, press switch 1 to restart
the engine.Special note: for some of these
conditions the automatic restarting
of the engine is inhibited if a front
door is open.

2.10
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

2.11
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the
Ä and Ò warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before
restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

2.14
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions (hea-
vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe-
rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),
you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedia- tely and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;
– go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG
system components.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault which may affect
the correct operation of the engine, the
system automatically switches from
LPG to petrol mode.
This is confirmed by:
– the appearance of the yellow war- ning light B;
– slow flashing of the green warning light D;
– a beep sounds.

2.19
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.

2.37
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
Depending on the gradient of the in-
cline, this system assists the driver
when starting on a hill. It prevents the
vehicle from rolling backwards by au-
tomatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then released (the vehicle will move ac-
cording to the slope).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, the indicator
light
 flashes on the instrument
panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault the warning lights
Ò and
 appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

2.47
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/4)
Special circumstances
– Depending on the vehicle, snow position: if you are driving on slip-
pery surfaces (snow, mud, etc.)
press switch 5, the operating indica-
tor light 6 comes on.
Once these special driving con-
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. The warning light 6 goes
out.
5
– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few sec-
onds before moving the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging it in D or R. –
Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
