For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released. If the
warning light
blinks, 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 instrument
panel appears when the engine is on
standby.
The vehicle equipment remains opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated 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).
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 pressed (suffi-
ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not 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 parking brake engaged
and the brake pedal released.
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic par-
king brake (depending on
the vehicle) is not applied
automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, the clutch pedal is
pressed slightly and then the engine
will start it again.
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 leaving
the vehicle (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).
