French term or phrase: automoteur en stationnement

These trains have an automatic coupler.
Coupling can be carried out on:
- un automoteur en stationnement
- un automoteur en maintien de service
- un automoteur avec une cabine de conduite en service.

I'd like to know what the difference is between these modes (especially the first two). I'll post another query for "en maintien de service".

This forum http://www.cheminots.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t10292.... (msg posted at 21/11/2007 10:43) refers to both terms, but doesn't help with the translation!!

"Sinon l'ICE est TOUJOURS en maintien de service en fait. Dès que tu vérouilles la boite à levier , il est systèmatiquement mis en maintient de service ; si tu veux le mettre en stationnement, tu as une procédure à effectuer mais par défaut, l'engin se stationne toujours en maintien."
