DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The engine
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 consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as offering
the comfort of silence 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral, and
you release the clutch pedal.
A time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a jour-
ney. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is
switched on with the key. For your comfort when parking,
STOP mode is not available for a
few seconds after coming out of re-
verse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for ex-
ample.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
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 engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ash-
es for a few seconds, then goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, the
"AIRWAVE" system stops working.
