DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The en-
gine 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 consump-
tion 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 gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the sys-
tem, 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.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, power steer-
ing... STOP mode is not invoked
when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,
- 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.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
