Operating conditions of the system

Read and observe on page 81 first.
For system-dependent automatic engine shutdown
to work, the following conditions must be met.
The driver's door is closed.

The driver has fastened the seat belt.

The bonnet is closed.

The driving speed was higher than 4 km/h after the last stop.

Some additional conditions for the system to function correctly cannot be in-
fluenced or recognised by the driver. Therefore, the system can react differ-
ently in situations which are identical from the driver's perspective.
If, after stopping the vehicle, the control icon 
play of the instrument panel, then the conditions for automatic engine shut-
down are not met.
Running the engine is essential for the following reasons, for example.
›
The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
›
The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
›
The current consumption is too high.
›
High air-conditioning or heating capacity (high fan speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).

Note
If the vehicle remains outdoors for a long time in minus temperatures or in
■
direct sunlight, it can take several hours until the internal temperature of the
vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for proper operation of the
START STOP system.
If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the
■
driver's door is opened during stop mode, the engine will have to be started
manually.
After the manual engine start, the automatic engine shutdown can take
■
place only when a minimum distance required for the system function has
been covered.
