Start/stop function
With the start/stop function, the engine
switches off temporarily when the car has

stopped e.g. at traffic lights or in a traffic
queue, and then starts again when it is nee-
ded.
The start/stop function reduces fuel consump-
tion, which in turn contributes to reduced
exhaust emissions.
The system makes it possible to adopt an
environmentally-conscious driving style by
allowing the car to engine auto-stop when
possible.
