Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-
w
ith a 5-speed electronic gearbox , with
the vehicle stationary, when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear selector in
position N .
A time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the ignition is switched
on with the key.
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.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
