The ECO indicator lamp goes off
and the engine restarts:
- with a manual gearbox, when you depress
the clutch pedal.
- with an electronic/automatic gearbox:
• gear selector in position A/D or M, when
you release the brake pedal,
• or gear selector in position N and brake
pedal released, when you place the gear
selector in position A/D or M,
• or when you engage reverse.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, an alert message is displayed
asking you to depress the clutch pedal to
restart the engine.

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,

or vehicle.
The "ECO" indicator lamp flashes

Manual deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment, it may be preferable
to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
switch coming on accompanied by a message
in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
