2.4
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If warning light
 flashes, this
means that the clutch pedal is not suf-
ficiently released.
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 2 mph (3 km/h).
The engine will restart when you press
the clutch pedal and move into gear.
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 (1/3)
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
 is displayed
on the instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
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 sequential gearbox:
– the gearbox is in position A, Mor 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 stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Before leaving the vehicle,
the engine must be stopped
and not put on standby
(please see the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).

2.5
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.
SEQUENTIAL gearbox
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
STOP AND START FUNCTION (2/3)Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For sequential gearbox:
– the brake pedal is released, position A or M engaged, or;
– the brake pedal is released, position N engaged and the handbrake off,
or;
– or 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.
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.
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked; – the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 35 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the auto-
matic climate control instruction is
too high;
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the engine coolant temperature is too low;
– automatic particle filter cleaning is underway;
– the “Fast Idle Speed” function is acti- vated (please refer to the information
on “Fast Idle Speed” in section 2);
– ...
Warning light
 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (Please See
“Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).

Handbrake
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
To release:
Pull the lever up slightly, press button 1
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
When the vehicle is
stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1
st or reverse).

An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

HANDBRAKE

2.46
Reverse gear (vehicle stationary)
– Brake pedal depressed. Push the
selector lever towards the right and
to the rear as shown on the base
of the lever, and then release it.
Reverse gear is engaged and the
letter R appears on the display.
– Release the brake pedal: – the engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres;
– accelerate gently to reverse.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever for-
wards once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: When the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,
warning light 5 will come on.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (2/5)
Gear shift pattern

Exactly like a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a vehicle equippe\
d
with a sequential gearbox is unable to prevent the vehicle from rolling \
on
a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the brake pedal constantly de\
-
pressed.
Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The display indicates gears N and A.
– With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards then
release it.
– Release the brake pedal and accel- erate gently to move forwards.

2.48
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/5)
Operation in automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by default
every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because the automatic mode takes the
road surface and the chosen driving
style into consideration.
Gears may be shifted manually in this
mode. Pushing the lever forwards
or backwards shifts a gear upwards
(except if there is a risk of underrev-
ving) or downwards (except if there is a
risk of overrevving).
Note: automatic mode takes account
of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear;
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by depressing
the brake pedal; there is no need to
change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam);
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Accelerating and overtaking
– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
The oil level in the automatic gear-
box system reservoir varies depend-
ing on use. Adding oil is strictly
forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking the vehicle
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

2.49
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/5)
Load position
When the vehicle is driven loaded,
press the 6 switch on the dashboard.
The indicator light
§ on the instru-
ment panel will light up.
Load mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be nec-
essary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal effect
in both automatic and manual modes.
6
Bleep– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep- ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Special circumstances
On a slippery surface or surface with
little grip, change to manual mode
(A/M) and select second gear before
accelerating to avoid wheelspin.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.
