Start/Stop function
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily
switches off the engine when the vehicle has
stopped, e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traf-
fic, and then starts it again automatically
when needed.
The Start/Stop function reduces fuel con-
sumption, which helps to reduce exhaust
emissions.
The system makes it possible to drive more
economically and climate-smart by letting the
engine auto-stop when appropriate.
