2.3
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to the Stop position.
Starting the engine
Engine warm or cold
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accel-
erator.
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Special note: when starting the
engine in very low exterior temper-
atures (below -10°C) hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/2)
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as airbags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

2.4
Activating the system
The system is activated by:
– with the engine running, the vehicle stationary and the gear lever in posi-
tion D;
– depress the brake pedal with the left foot;
– with your left foot still pressing the brake pedal, press the accelera-
tor pedal fully to beyond the point of
resistance with your right foot (the
engine speed will automatically sta-
bilise);
– within 3 seconds, release the brake pedal for a sporty vehicle start. Conditions for non-activation of the
system
Certain conditions will not enable the
system to be activated:
– three successive authorised stand-
ing start procedures – beyond this,
the function will be disabled for ap-
proximately 10 minutes;
– excessive road gradient percentage;
– fault in the vehicle system (ESC, etc.).
STANDING START PROCEDURE
If fitted on the vehicle, with the vehicle
stationary, the standing start procedure
(Launch Control) is a function which
permits maximum acceleration.
Note: This function should only be used
when the mechanical components have
reached their operating temperature.
Do not use this function on
slippery or wet roads.
Risk of loss of control of
the vehicle.
Because of the accelera-
tion gained, this function
should only be used if traf-
fic conditions permit, and
in compliance with the local driving
regulations. Please ensure all the
conditions are met before each use.
Risk of accident or serious injury.
Heavy use of the system will reduce
the service life of the mechanical
components (clutch, transmission,
etc.).
Use of this function accelerates
wear on the tyres. Please see the
information on “Tyres” in Section 5.

2.5
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– 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. For vehicles equipped with 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 7 mph (3 km/h).
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.
FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated 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).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
The ignition must be
switched off before leav-
ing the vehicle (please see
the information on “Starting,
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.

2.6
FUNCTION STOP AND START (2/4)
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).
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible to keep the engine running so as
to be ready to move off quickly.
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.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– Brake pedal released, position D or
M engaged;
or
– Brake pedal is released, position N engaged and parking brake re-
leased;
or
– Parking brake is applied again, po- sition P engaged, or position N en-
gaged with parking brake applied;
or
– position R is engaged;
or
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– Gearbox is in neutral and clutch pedal is slightly depressed;
or
– the engine is in gear and the clutch pedal is pressed right down. Special note:
depending on the vehi-
cle, if you switch off the ignition when
the engine is on standby, the warning
light Ä is displayed for a few sec-
onds on the instrument panel.
