My Aygo dropped into DFCO with no throttle at any engine speed over 1400. It would then allow RPM to drop to about 900 before engaging the idle circuit.

At idle it would rev at about 0.85K rpm.

If I selected a gear (1st or reverse) at standstill the RPM would raise to about 0.95K which I assumed meant the tiny engine would not stall when drivers pottered about a car park and would also not stall when pensioners held their steering wheels hard over causing the PAS pump to draw extra energy from the engine.
