Driving
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off
and the engine starts automatically:
- 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.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if a gear is engaged without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a warning
lamp comes on or an alert message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by the display of a
message.
Deactivation
In this case the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode 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 an electronic gearbox,
- the electric 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.
