Driving
Stop & Start
the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - StOP mode -
during 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, StOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
StOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

with a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
with the e-tHP 165 version, when you put
the gear lever into neutral and release the
clutch pedal,
with an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector in position N.
Never refuel with the engine in
StOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
StOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the key.
