Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible to keep the engine running so as
to be ready to move off quickly.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down
FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is activated
automatically when the vehicle is star-
ted.
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 vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap-proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the message «Auto
Stop» on the instrument panel appears
when the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition by pressing
the engine stop (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (the
message “Auto Stop” is dis-
played on the instrument
panel).
Special feature of vehi-
cles equipped with an
electronic parking brake
If the engine is put on
standby (the message “Auto Stop”
is displayed on the instrument
panel), the electronic parking brake
is not applied automatically.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For vehicles equipped with 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.

plied but go out when the doors are
locked.
Note:
To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message “Apply parking brake” ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the driver’s door is opened;
– with the engine switched off (eg. when the engine stalls): when a front
door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 3 to
apply the electronic parking brake.
Automatic releasing of the
electronic parking brake
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle moves, by accelerating with
a gear selected and the engine running.
Automatic operation
The electronic parking brake en-
sures vehicle immobilisation when the
engine is stopped and engine Start/
Stop button 1 is pressed.
In all other instances, e.g. engine stal-
ling, the electronic parking brake is not
applied automatically. Manual mode
must be used.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the automatic brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the in-
formation on “Manual operation”.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (1/3)

brake is applied, the message “Parking
brake on” and warning light
}
on the instrument panel and warning

cator light 2 goes out several minutes

– If there is an electronic parking brake fault, warning lights
® light up
accompanied by the “Parking brake

tain cases, warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Operating faults

light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that
it is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions allow).
Ensure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised and contact an appro-
ved Dealer.
