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.

again when the engine is no longer on
standby or the speed exceeds approxi-
mately 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (downhill,
slope, etc.).
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 1.86 mph (3 km/h).

This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.

tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and

standby, the electronic
parking brake (depending

plied automatically.If the engine stalls while the system
