The “START-STOP” system helps you to save fuel while at the same time reducing
harmful exhaust emissions and CO
2 emissions.
The function is automatically activated ea ch time the ignition is switched on.
In the start-stop mode, the engine automatica lly switches to the vehicle's idle phase,
e.g. when stopped at traffic lights.
Information regarding the current state of the “START-STOP” system is indicated in the
display of the instrument cluster.
Automatic engine shut down (stop phase)– Stop the vehicle (where necessary, apply the handbrake).
– Take the vehicle out of gear.
– Take your foot off the clutch.Automatic engine restart (start phase).– Push down on the clutch.Switching the “START-STOP” system on and offYou can switch the “START STOP” syst em on/off by pressing the button fig. 3 .
When start-stop mode is deactivated, th e warning light in the button lights up.
If the vehicle is in the stop phase when manually switching off the system, the engine
starts automatically.
The “START-STOP” system is very complex. Some of the procedures are hard to check
without servicing. The general conditions for the proper functioning of the “START-
STOP” system are listed in the following overview.

•
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after severa l hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in dire ct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the “START STOP” system.
•
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.

Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you can refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead
to serious engine damage! Refuel with petr ol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!RefuellingThe air relief valve in the filler tube of the fuel tank not part of the equipment installed
in the vehicle.

•
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
•
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
•
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
•
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
•
if the use-by-date (see infl ation bottle) has passed.
WARNING

A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, (50 mph).
•
Avoid accelerating at full throttle , sharp braking and fast cornering.
•
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes.

Sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.For the sake of the environment
Used or aged sealing agent must be dispos ed of in accordance with environmental
protection regulations.
