❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake
pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3
minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided), to
