Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox , when you
depress the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system :
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.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically 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
the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system,
- the parking brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) 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.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
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 a
message on the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
