Refer to the multimedia instructions
for your vehicle.

2.10
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released. If the warning light
 blinks, 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 instrument
panel appears when the engine is on
standby.
The vehicle equipment remains 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 pressed (suffi- ciently 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 parking brake 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, the clutch pedal is
pressed slightly and then the engine
will start it again.

ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
The ignition must be
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see

– the brake pedal is pressed again, with position P engaged or position
N engaged with the parking brake
applied, or
– position R is engaged or,
– the accelerator pedal is pressed or,
– in manual mode, the gear lever is moved towards + or -.
For manual gearboxes:

2.14
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.

2.15
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights
Ä and ©, consult an
authorised dealer immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

2.16
Gear lever
Vehicles with manual gearbox: refer
to the grid on the gear lever knob 1.
Vehicles with an automatic gear-
box: refer to the information on the
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
GEAR LEVER
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 ap-
proved Dealer.
Selecting reverse gear
The ring 2 has to be lifted up to the gear
lever knob to select reverse gear.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.
