Advice
A time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
START mode
The "ECO" lamp goes off and the
engine restarts.
Operation

Access and starting
Special cases
As a safety measure and for your comfort,
START mode is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
