Starting and stopping
Going into engine START mode
- The "S" warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:
-
the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
- the air conditioning is running,
- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the
"S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of
the
"S" warning lamp and, depending on
equipment, a message is displayed.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
