Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 130.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must

be increased. This will be achieved by
an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears on the Uplevel-
Display.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
