Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)

The Stop & Start system puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

Operation

Going into engine STOP

stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or

other...). The engine restarts automatically -

START mode - as soon as you want to move

off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly

and silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system

reduces fuel consumption and exhaust

emissions as well as the noise level when

stationary.

For smoother operation, during

mode

parking manoeuvres STOP mode is

not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear.

The Stop & Start does not affect the

vehicle's systems, such as for example,

braking, power steering...

This indicator lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and the engine

goes into standby automatically:

-

when stationary, in neutral, and you

release the clutch pedal.

4

Stop & Start time counters

A partial time counter counts the periods in

STOP mode during a journey.

It is displayed in the trip computer once the

Stop & Start is operating.

Never refuel with the engine in

STOP mode; you must switch off the

ignition with the button.

Press one of the "DISP" buttons to return to the

previous display.

A global time counter counts the periods in

STOP mode since the last reset.

When it is displayed, press one of the

"DISP" buttons to reset the counter.
