Starting rechargeable hybrid
vehicles
► Fully depress the brake pedal and press
the START/STOP button for approximately 2
seconds.
► Keep your foot on the pedal until this
indicator lamp comes on, indicating the
activation of the rechargeable hybrid system
(confirmed by an audible signal).

indicator lamp to come on.
By default, the system starts in Electric mode.
Depending on certain parameters (battery
charge level or outside temperature), the system
determines whether it is necessary to start the
petrol engine.
It is possible to change the driving mode at any
time using the mode selector.
When the vehicle starts in electric mode,
it makes no noise.
Pay particular attention to pedestrians and
cyclists who may not hear the vehicle coming

leaving the vehicle, check that the READY
indicator lamp is switched off.

If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not stop.
With the engine off, the braking and
steering assistance systems are also cut
off - risk of loss of control of the vehicle!
Never leave your vehicle with the
electronic key still inside.
