Start-Stop System - Audi A6 Getting To Know Manual

Start-Stop System

This advanced Audi technology is design to help save fuel and reduce
CO2 emissions at the same time. It shuts off the engine when you stop
at traffic signals or during certain stop-and-go driving conditions.
When the system shuts off the engine, the Start-Stop System light
appears in the Driver Information System in the instrument cluster.
Releasing the brake pedal instantly restarts the engine and makes
power available before your foot even reaches the accelerator.
Simply drive as you normally would and it works seamlessly.
Start-Stop ON or OFF?
The choice is yours.
If you wish to turn off the Start-Stop system, simply press
the "START-STOP" button located below the Audi multi-
media panel or MMI® display. The button will illuminate to
tell you the Start-Stop is off. The engine will continue to run
when the vehicle is stopped at traffic signals or during stop-
and-go driving. Of course, you will not receive the potential
fuel savings or CO2 reduction benefit. Once you have turned
off Start-Stop, it will remain off until you press the "START-
STOP" button to turn it back on.
Note: This feature is available on A6 3.0T only.
Important Warnings and Safety Information, which you must read, are listed on the last panel under Start-Stop System.
