STOP AND START FUNCTION
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible (with the system activated) to keep
the engine running so as to be ready to
move off quickly.
For vehicles equipped with au-
tomatic gearboxes and when the
engine standby is performed only
when the vehicle stopped:
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
To fill up with fuel, the engine
must be stopped (and not
only on standby in the case
of vehicles equipped with
the STOP and START function): you
must switch off the ignition ➥ 2.4
