Going into engine START
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off
and the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox, when you
depress the clutch pedal,
- with a 5-speed or 6-speed electronic
gearbox:
● gear selector in position A or M, when
you release the brake pedal,
● or gear selector in position N and the
brake pedal released, when you move
the gear selector to position A or M,
● or when you engage reverse gear.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For reasons of safety and for your comfort,
START mode is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 km/h) with the electronic gearbox
system,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if you engage a gear without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a message
is displayed asking you to fully depress
the clutch pedal so that the engine can
restart.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
