Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.
To restore the use of these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run:
– For less than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
►ꢀ Pull the interior release lever, located at the
bottom of the door frame, towards you.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.

When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.

The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
