Abstract

The method according to the invention calls upon a rotary electric machine () comprising a drive member () and a transmission member () of the belt or chain type, collaborating with the drive member and with the combustion engine () in order to start or restart the combustion engine, a tensioner () being provided to press against one strand () of the transmission member that extends between the rotary electric machine and the combustion engine. According to the invention, in a first stage, the rotary electric machine () supplies a predetermined reduced torque in the direction of starting for a predetermined duration in order to tension the transmission member () and then, in a second stage, the rotary electric machine () supplies a predetermined optimum torque for rapidly turning over the combustion engine () and causing it to start.
