panel  and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au

tomatically:
-

w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
  mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B

lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when

For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
  example,   braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  t he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(10
  km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   using  
t

he   START/STOP   button,
-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

ing
 a
pplied,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,
-
 
d
emisting   is   selected,
-
 
s
ome   special   conditions   (battery   charge,  
e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for  a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
 
for
 
urban
 
use,
 
the
 
Stop

Start
 
system
 
reduces
 
fuel
 
consumption
 
and
 
exhaust
 
emissions
 
as
 
well
  as   the   noise   level   when   stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP
 
mode
 
during
 
a
 
journey.
 
It
 
resets
 
itself

is
