FUNCTION STOP AND START
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible (with the system activated) to keep
the engine running so as to be ready to
move off quickly.
Automatic gearbox:
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
