emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It restarts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed.

soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
