Driving
When the vehicle starts in electric mode,
it makes no noise.
Pay particular attention to pedestrians and
cyclists who may not hear the vehicle coming
despite the pedestrian horn.
Switching off
► Immobilise the vehicle, with the engine at
idle.
► With a manual gearbox, ideally put the gear
lever into neutral.
► With an automatic gearbox, ideally select
mode P or N.
► Press the "START/STOP" button..
► For hybrid vehicles, before leaving the
vehicle, check that the READY warning lamp is
switched off.
In some circumstances, it is necessary to turn
the steering wheel to lock the steering column.
On certain versions with an automatic gearbox
(EAT6 / EAT8), the steering column does not
lock, but the gearbox locks in mode P.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not switch off.
With the engine off, the braking and
steering assistance systems are also cut
off - risk of loss of control of the vehicle!
Never leave your vehicle with the
electronic key still inside.
