OPERATING MODE
Stopping the Engine
With vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE (R).
The system does not operate when the gear
selector is in REVERSE (R), in order to make
parking maneuvers easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine switching off is
disabled to make the “Hill Start Assist” function
available (works only with running engine).
NOTE:
The engine can only be automatically stopped
after having run at about 6 mph (10 km/h). After
an automatic restart, the vehicle only needs to
exceed a speed of 0.3 mph (0.5 km/h) to stop the
engine.
Engine stopping is signaled by the symbol
lighting up on the instrument cluster display.
Restarting the Engine
To restart the engine, release the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel slightly (if equipped).
With the brake pressed and the transmission in
automatic mode DRIVE (D), the engine will restart
by shifting to REVERSE (R), to PARK (P) or to
“AutoStick”.
With the brake pressed while the gear selector is
in “AutoStick” mode, the engine will restart by
shifting to PARK (P) or by moving the selector
to + or -.

on the button is on.
NOTE:
Each time the engine is started, the system is
activated regardless of where it was when it was
previously switched off.
POSSIBLE REASONS THE ENGINE DOES
N
OT AUTOSTOP
For higher comfort and increased safety, and to
reduce emissions, there are certain conditions
where the engine will not autostop despite the
system being active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Especially cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
Reverse gear engaged (e.g. for parking
maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control active, an
adequate cabin heating or cooling comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF function
active.
During the first period of use, to initialize the
system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine can restart automatically
without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on roads
with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start system for
more than approximately three minutes.
With the automatic climate control active, an
adjustment in cabin heating or cooling is made
or with MAX-DEF function active.
