STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel 
consumption and lower greenhouse 
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated automatically when the vehicle is 
started. While driving, the system stops 
the engine (standby) when the vehicle 
is at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights, 
etc).
Conditions for engine 
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it 
was parked;
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
–  the gearbox is in position D  or N;
and
–  the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around  1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and 
the brake pedal released. For vehicles equipped with manual 
gearboxes:
–  the gearbox is in neutral;
and
–  The clutch pedal is released. 
  If the warning light 
 flashes, 
this means that the clutch pedal is 
not sufficiently released;
and
–  the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the warning light 
  
on the instrument panel is lit when the 
engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
If the engine stalls while the system 
is in operation, pressing the clutch 
pedal right down will start it again.
Before getting out of the 
vehicle, you must switch 
off the ignition by pressing 
the engine stop (please see 
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is 
on standby (shown by the 
warning light 
 on the 
instrument panel).
Engine on standby - braking 
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
