Starting-switching off the engine with Keyless Entry and Starting
Starting the engine
The presence of the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" electronic key in the recognition zone
is essential.
It is not necessary to place the electronic key in
the back-up reader.
F Place the gear selector lever at P or N for
vehicles with an automatic gearbox, or
neutral with a manual gearbox.
F With the electronic key inside the vehicle,
press the brake pedal for vehicles with an
automatic gearbox, or fully declutch for
vehicles with a manual gearbox.
F Briefly press the "START/
STOP" button while maintaining
pressure on the pedal until the
engine starts.
The steering column unlocks and the engine
starts more or less instantly.
See the advice below for Diesel versions.
If the electronic key is not detected,
a message is displayed. Move the
electronic key into the recognition zone
so that the engine can be started.
In the event of a problem, see "Key not
detected / Back-up starting".
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in the
instrument panel screen.
In some circumstances, it is necessary
to turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "START/STOP" button
to assist unlocking of the steering; a
message warns you when this is needed.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle while the engine is running.
Diesel vehicles
In temperatures below zero the
engine will not start until the
preheater warning lamp has
gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on after
pressing "START/STOP", you should
hold the brake or clutch pedal down
until the warning lamp goes off and do
not press the "START/STOP" button
again before the engine starts.
