STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card
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 passen-
ger compartment or if the card's bat-
tery is flat, when the vehicle is station-
ary and you try to switch the engine off,
2
the message "Keycard absent: press/
hold START" appears on the instrument
panel: press the 2 button for longer than
three seconds.
If the card is no longer in the passen-
ger compartment, make sure you can
retrieve it before pressing and holding
the button: without the card, you will not
be able to start the vehicle.
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.
(4/4)
When you leave your vehi-
cle, especially if you have
your card with you, check
that the engine is com-
pletely switched off.
Driver's responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
