Going into engine START
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off
and the engine starts:
with a manual gearbox, when you
-
depress the clutch pedal,
- with a 5-speed or 6-speed electronic
gearbox:
● gear selector in position A or M, when
you release the brake pedal,
● or gear selector in position N and the
brake pedal released, when you move
the gear selector to position A or M,
● or when you engage reverse gear.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if you engage a gear without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a message
is displayed asking you to fully depress
the clutch pedal so that the engine can
restart.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For reasons of safety and for your comfort,
START mode is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 km/h) with the electronic gearbox
system,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
at any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in the
screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in SToP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
