STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automati-
cally 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 been driven since its
last stop;
and
– the gearbox is in position D, M or
N (refer to “Automatic gearbox” in
Section 2);
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-
ciently hard);
and
– and the accelerator pedal is not
pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around 1
second.
The standby engine is maintained if po-
sition P (refer to “Automatic gearbox” in
Section 2) is engaged, or if position N is
engaged and the parking brake is ap-
plied while the brake pedal is released.
The warning light
on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
Before leaving the vehicle,
the engine must be stopped
and not put on standby
(please see the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
on the
instrument panel).
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic
parking brake is not applied
automatically.
