ÉDiesel versions
– Turn the ignition key to the
“Ignition on” position M, and hold
this position until the engine pre-
heating light goes off;
– turn the key to starter position D
without depressing the accel-
erator pedal;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Special note: if starting the engine
when the outdoor temperature is very
low (below - 10 ° C): hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
Starting the engine
Petrol versions
– Activate the starter without ac-
celerating;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key to
the “Stop” position St.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc., and the passive safety de-
vices such as the airbags and pre-
tensioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
2.4
STOP AND START function (1/3)
Warning light is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart as soon as you
press the clutch pedal and move into
gear.
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).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3 km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is acti- vated if fitted on the vehicle (please
see “Automatic Climate Control” in
Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
is displayed
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”).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
2.8
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
Variable power-assisted
steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) while
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
12
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
2
1
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 transmission.
2.13
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
