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

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
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-

tensioners will no longer operate.
2.8
FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic
parking brake (depending
on the vehicle) is not ap-
plied automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.If the engine stalls while the system is in operation, pressing the clut\
ch pedal right
down will start it again.
Engine on standby - power-
assisted steering is no
longer operational.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
on the
instrument panel).
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 approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
For all vehicles:
The warning light
on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby. The vehicle equipment re-
mains operational while the engine is
stopped.
Depending on the vehicle, when the
engine switches to standby, the steer-
ing assistance may no longer be opera-
tional.
In this case it becomes operational
again when the engine is no longer on
standby or the speed exceeds approxi-
mately 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (downhill,
slope etc.).
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automati-
cally 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 pressed (suf-
ficiently hard);
– and the accelerator pedal is not 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.
Before leaving the vehicle,
the engine must be stopped
and not put on standby
(please see the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine”).
