Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "EcO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the THP 120 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-
with an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position
N
.
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
START/STOP
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP
button.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
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.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
