Start/Stop
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches
off the engine when the vehicle is not moving,
for instance in heavy traffic or at a traffic light, to
help reduce fuel consumption. The engine starts
again automatically when the brake pedal is
released.
Start/Stop is one of several fuel-conserving fea-
tures that also help reduce emissions.
This feature helps make it possible to drive more
economically by allowing the engine to auto-stop
in certain situations.

temporarily reduced.
