will appear on the display and the rev counter needle will also move to the READY position.The engine will start again automatically when you take your foot off the brake pedal. If the parking brake is applied or hold assist is switched on, the engine will only restart when you press the accelerator pedal. The indicator lamp will go out.
The engine is switched off when the selector lever is in position P, D, N or S or in manual mode. If the selector lever is in position P, the engine will remain off even if you take your foot off the brake. The engine will not start again until you press the accelerator or select another gear and take your foot off the brake.
The engine will start again if you move the selector lever to R during a stop phase.
If you do not want the engine to start when moving the selector lever through R, move the lever to P quickly.
You can control whether or not the engine is switched off by varying the amount of pressure on the brake pedal. For instance, if you brake gently in stop-and-go traffic or before turning off at a junction, the engine will remain on while the vehicle is at a standstill. As soon as you press the brake pedal harder, the engine will be switched off.
Note
- Keep your foot on the brake pedal during a stop phase to prevent the vehicle from moving.
- If you press the START ENGINE STOP button* during a stop phase, the ignition will be switched off. The rev counter needle will move to the OFF position.
- The display differs slightly on some models.
