Putting the engine into standby (STOP
mode)
The engine automatically enters standby mode
as soon as the driver indicates their intention to
stop:
– With an automatic gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20km/h) on BlueHDi versions, or below
2 mph (3km/h) on PureTech 130, 180 and 225
versions, when you depress the brake pedal or
place the gear selector in mode N.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby
during the journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on.
Special cases:
The engine will not go into standby if the
conditions for operation are not met and in the
following cases:
– Steep slope (ascending or descending).
– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
– Demisting active.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again:
– With the selector in mode D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
– With the selector in mode N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
– With the selector in mode P and the brake pedal
depressed: with the selector at R, N, D or M.
– With reverse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases:
– Vehicle speed exceeds 2.5 mph (4km/h) with
PureTech130, 180 and 225 versions, or 16 mph
(25km/h) with BlueHDi versions.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments
on the instrument panel, then remains on,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
► Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the "START/STOP" button.
12V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, not
when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which must
be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
