conditions for stopping the
engine
The vehicle must be stationary, with the
lever positioned in P for vehicles with
an automatic gearbox.
With the card in the vehicle, press
button 2: the engine stops. The steer-
ing column is locked when a door is
opened or the vehicle is locked.
If the card is no longer in the passenger
compartment when you try to switch the
engine off, the message "Card miss-
ing: press and hold" appears on the
2
instrument panel: press the 2 button
for at least two seconds. If the card is
no longer in the passenger compart-
ment, make sure you can retrieve it
before pressing and holding the button.
Without the card, you will not be able
to start.
With the engine switched off, any ac-
cessories being used (radio, etc.) will
continue to function for approximately
10 minutes.
When the driver's door is opened, the
accessories stop working.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing etc., and the passive safety de-
vices such as the airbags and pre-
tensioners will no longer operate.
