Additional information related to the auto-

The engine stops when the selector lever is in
the positions P, D, N and S, in addition to when
in Triptonic mode. With the selector lever in
position P, the engine will also remain switch-
ed off when you take your foot off the brake
pedal. In order to start the engine up again
the accelerator must be pressed, or another
gear engaged or the brake released.
If the selector lever is placed in position R dur-
ing the stopping phase, the engine will start
up again.
Change from position D to P to prevent the
engine from accidentally starting when
changing and passing by position R.

start up again in certain operating conditions

ahead drives off again.
WARNING
●
Never s
witch the engine off until the vehi-
cle is stationary. The brake servo and pow-
er steering functions will not be completely
covered under warranty. More force may
also be needed to turn the steering wheel
or to brake. As you cannot steer and brake
in the normal manner, there is a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury.
●
Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, the
steering could lock making it impossible to
steer the vehicle.
●
To avoid injury, make sure that the Start-
Stop system is switched off when working
in the engine compartment
