Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel and the enginegoes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox,at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N ,
- with an automatic gearbox,
with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N.If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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...


Special cases: STOP mode not
available

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demistin
g is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for a few seconds then goesoff.This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
