To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
always stop the engine by pressing
the engine stop button (please see

Special cases
– While the system is operating, and
the engine is stopped (traffic jam,
traffic lights, etc.), if the driver gets
out of their seat or unfastens their
seatbelt and opens the driver's door,
the ignition will be switched off and,
depending on the vehicle, the elec-
tronic parking brake will be automati-
cally deployed. To restart and react-
ivate the Stop and Start system,
press the start button (please see
"Starting, stopping the engine").
– In the event of the engine stalling,
if the system is operational, press
down the clutch pedal as far as it will
go to restart.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function when per-
forming any operations in
the engine compartment.
