gear lever into neutral, and you release the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox , at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or you put the gear lever into position N .

The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts:
- with a manual gearbox, when you press the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox:
● with the gear lever in position A or M, when you release the brake pedal,
● or with the gear lever in position N and brake pedal released, when you move the
