Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
