If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the

-
 
t
he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,

-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger

n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, the "ECO"
 

warning   lamp  
f

lashes   for   a   few   seconds,   then  
goes
  off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The
 
Stop

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.
Never
 
refuel
 
with
