Stop And Start Function - Renault DUSTER Driver's Handbook Manual

STOP AND START
function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The gearbox is in position D or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-
ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de-
pressed;
and
– the vehicle's speed is zero for around
one second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the warning light flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap-
proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the warning light
appears on the instrument panel to warn
you when the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
The ignition must
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see sec-
tion on "Starting, stopping
the engine").
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
instrument panel).
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
