Stop & Start
Operation
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) with BlueHDi Diesel
versions, when you put the gear selector
into neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear selector in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams...).
The engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, when parking, STOP
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering...

Front and rear foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day and
night, use of the front and rear foglamps
is prohibited. In these situations, the
power of their beams may dazzle other
drivers. They should only be used in fog
or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and
rear foglamps when they are no longer
needed.Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting
after switching off the
ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
turn the ring A to position "0" - lighting
off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state of
charge of the battery (entry to energy
economy mode).
