warning lamp switches off and the
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if a gear is engaged without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a warning
lamp comes on or an alert message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for few seconds, then goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, 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 15 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h
(2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions) or
2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox,
- the electric parking brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
With an automatic gearbox, this
warning lamp switches off and the
engine restarts automatically when:
- you release the brake pedal with the gear
selector in position D or M,
- you are in position N, with the brake pedal
released, and you place the gear selector
in position D or M,
- you engage reverse gear.
engine restarts automatically when you press
the clutch pedal fully.
