Engine restart from STOP mode

~1min read

The "ECO" indicator goes off and the engine
restarts:

  • with a manual gearbox, when the clutch pedal is depressed,
  • with an automated or automatic gearbox:
  • gear selector in position A / D or M, when the brake pedal is released,
  • or gear selector in position N and brake pedal released, when the gear selector is moved to position A / D or M,
  • or when reverse gear is engaged.
With a manual gearbox, if a gear is changed without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a message is displayed asking you to press the clutch pedal harder to ensure restart.
