DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights,
traffi c 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.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation


- 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.

- with a 5 or 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in posi-
tion
N
.
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:

For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, 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
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

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
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- 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, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to as-
sure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
