Driving
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
-
engaging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
– START mode – as soon as the driver wishes
to move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities
of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
Deactivation/reactivation is done via
the Driving/Vehicle menu of the
touch screen.
Associated indicator lamps
Function activated.
Function deactivated or malfunction.
A message in the instrument panel confirms
the change of state.
When the function is deactivated, if the engine
was in standby, it restarts immediately.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury caused by the
engine restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.
