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.
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 ap- proximately 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.
When the engine switches to standby,
the steering assistance may no longer
be operational.
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 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.
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).

2.9
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
switch the ignition off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
