Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox , at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N , - with an automatic gearbox, vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down), - 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 or the "START/STOP" button), - the electric parking brake is applied 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 flashes for a few seconds, then goes of f. This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 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. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, for example. Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
With an electronic gearbox, for your comfort during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse g e a r.
mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
