START&STOP EVO
99) 22)
The Start&Stop Evo system
automatically stops the engine each time
the car is stationary and starts it again
when the driver wants to start off again.
In this way, the car efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
