or place the gear selector in mode N.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby

the operating conditions is not met and in the
following cases.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available as long as the

(8km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
