Start/stop system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with start/stop system
The start/stop system can help to save fuel and
reduce CO2 emissions. Driving
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at traf
fic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each time you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over
4 km/h since the last stop .
.&, WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary . Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and power
steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man
ner.
-Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows -this could lead to in
juries.
- To avoid injury, make sure that the start/
stop system is switched off before working
in the engine compartment ¢ page 65.
