Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts auto-
matically:
- with a manual gearbox , when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,
with an electronic gearbox :
-
● gear lever in position A or M , when
you release the brake pedal,
● or gear lever in position N and the
brake pedal released, when you
move the gear lever to position A
or M ,
● or when you engage reverse
gear.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged with-
out fully depressing the clutch
pedal, a warning lamp comes
on or an alert message is dis-
played asking you to depress
the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode is invoked au-
tomatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with an
electronic gearbox,
- the electric parking brake is being
applied,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
In this case the "ECO" warning
lamp fl ashes for few seconds,
then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by the
display of a message.
If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the engine
restarts immediately.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-
ing off and the display of a message.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start us-
ing the key.
