Starting
Starting the engine

the reader.
F Place the gear selector lever P or N with
an automatic gearbox, or neutral with a
manual gearbox.
F With the electronic key inside the vehicle,
press the brake pedal for vehicles with an
automatic gearbox, or fully declutch for
vehicles with a manual gearbox.

STOP" button while maintaining
pressure on the pedal until the
engine starts.
The steering column unlocks and the
engine starts.
See the advice below for Diesel
versions.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in
the instrument panel screen. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to turn
the steering wheel slightly while pressing
the "START/STOP" button to assist
unlocking of the steering; a message
warns you when this is needed.
The presence of the "Keyless Entry
and Starting" electronic key in the
recognition zone is essential.
As a safety measure, do not leave this
zone with the vehicle running.
If the electronic key is not detected in
the zone, a message is displayed. Move
the electronic key into the zone so that
the engine can be started.
Diesel vehicles
In temperatures below zero
the engine will not start until
the preheater warning lamp
has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on after
pressing "START/STOP", you should
hold the brake or clutch pedal down
until the warning lamp goes off and do
not press the "START/STOP" button
again.
