Driving

Special cases: STOP mode unavailable

~1min read

STOP mode does not activate when:

  • the driver's door is open,
  • the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
  • the vehicle speed has not exceeded 10 km/h since the last key start,
  • maintaining cabin heating comfort requires it,
  • windscreen demisting is switched on,
  • in certain specific conditions (battery charging, engine temperature, brake servo assistance, outside temperature...) this is required to ensure system control.

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

This operation is completely normal.
