Stop & StartThe 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
  mode   does   not   affect   the  
f

unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
  braking,   power   steering...
Never

Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   thus   reducing   the   stopping   distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal   is   pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking
 e

fficiency.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding  
o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the  
d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The
  electronic   stability   programme   acts   on   the  
b

rake   of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine  
t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required  
b

y   the   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of
