Special cases: START invoked
automatically
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 15 mph
(25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h) (depending on
the engine) with a manual gearbox,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph
(3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox,
- the electric parking brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
In this case 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.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
