START-STOPsystem


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Manually deactivating/activating the system
Information messages
The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
CO emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
2
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
or is at a standstill (e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it
again when moving off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, while others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
For this reason, the system may react differently in situations which seem
identical from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even when it has previously been manually deactivated with the  button).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains switched on.
