2.8
For 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).
For all vehicles:
Warning light 
 on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on 
standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel 
consumption and lower greenhouse 
gas emissions.
The system is activated 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 automatic gearboxes:
–  the gearbox is in position D, M 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.
If the engine is put in 
standby, the electronic par-
king brake (depending on 
the vehicle) is not applied 
automatically.
Engine on standby - braking 
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
If the engine stalls while the system 
is in operation, pressing the clutch 
pedal right down will start it again.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is 
on standby (shown by the 
warning light 
 on the 
instrument panel).
Before getting out of the 
vehicle, you must switch 
off the ignition (please see 
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”). 

2.9
Conditions for coming out of 
engine standby
For automatic gearboxes:
–  the brake pedal is released, position D or M engaged or,
–  the brake pedal is released, position  N engaged and the handbrake off, or
–  the brake pedal is pressed again,  with position P engaged or position 
N engaged with the handbrake ap-
plied, or
–  position R is engaged or,
–  the accelerator pedal is depressed  or,
–  in manual mode, the gear lever is  moved towards + or -.
For manual gearboxes:
–  the gearbox is in neutral and the  clutch pedal is slightly depressed, or
–  the engine is in gear and the clutch  pedal is pressed right down.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must 
be stopped (and not on standby): 
always stop the engine (please see 
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
STOP AND START FUNCTION (2/4)
Preventing the engine from 
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible (with the system activated) to keep 
the engine running so as to be ready to 
move off quickly.
Automatic gearbox:
Keep the vehicle stationary without 
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right 
down.
Special note:  depending on the vehi-
cle, if you switch off the ignition when 
the engine is on standby, the warning 
light 
Ä is displayed for a few sec-
onds on the instrument panel. 

2.15
HANDBRAKE
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1 
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument 
panel will come on if you are driving 
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull lever  2 upwards. Check that the 
vehicle is immobilised. The warning 
light 
D on the instrument panel will 
come on.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released 
when driving (red indicator 
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may 
occur.
21
When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or 
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and 
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear) 
for vehicles with a manual gearbox 
or position  P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.  

2.73
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the 
lever to position P while keeping your 
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is 
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending 
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
When setting off, if the lever is locked 
in position  P even though you are 
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can 
be released manually. To do this, insert 
a tool (with a hard rod) into the slot  4 to 
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon 
as possible.
Operating faults
–  when driving,  if the ‘check gearbox’ 
message appears on the instrument 
panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as 
soon as possible;
–  when driving,  if the message 
“Gearbox overheating” appears on 
the instrument panel, stop as soon 
as possible to let the gearbox cool 
down and wait for the message to 
disappear;
–  If a vehicle with an automatic 
gearbox breaks down, refer to the 
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
4
For safety reasons, do not 
switch off the ignition before 
the vehicle has come to a 
complete standstill.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while 
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or 
other street furniture) may result in 
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have 
your vehicle checked by an appro-
ved Dealer.
