Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine goes
into standby automatically: -
W
ith a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
2 mph (3 km/h) (with BlueHDi 130 S&S
engine) or with the vehicle stationary (other
engines), when you place the gear selector
in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
- With an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear selector lever in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode does not activate, mainly when:
-
t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
falling),
-
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 by the
driver,
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome temporary conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) make this
necessary to ensure control of a system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the
engine restarts automatically:
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.

-
t
he electric parking brake is being

-
s
ome temporary conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, air conditioning setting,
etc.) require the engine to be running to
control the system or the vehicle.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In certain cases, such as the need to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time, once
the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched on.
With the button on the
dashboard
F Press this button; the associated orange indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation is confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel.
Pressing the button again reactivates the
system; the associated indicator lamp goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel.
A new selection reactivates the system.
Reactivation is confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
With the touch screen button
The function is activated/deactivated in
the Vehicle/Driving menu of the touch

Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° viewRecommendations on care
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and camera are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the lance at least 30
cm away from the
camera and parking sensors.
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre. It consists of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears. During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.
