For safety or comfort reasons, the engine restarts automatically when:

  • the driver's door is opened,
  • the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
  • vehicle speed exceeds 11 km/h,
  • in certain specific conditions (battery charging, engine temperature, brake servo assistance, air conditioning control...) this is required to ensure control of the system or the vehicle.

The "ECO" indicator flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

This operation is completely normal.
