by the driver.
In automated mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles when required, when

Stop & Start
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.

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 brakepedal or put the gear lever in position N.
I
f your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter 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 ke
y.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; 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 steering...

- 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 star t using

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

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

- demisting 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 lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goesoff.
This operation is per fectly normal
.
