this time. For example, blower speed and
high infotainment system volume may be
reduced to help conserve the battery's
capacity.
Auto-stopping the engine
Normally, when Start/Stop is activated and
the brakes are applied until the vehicle comes
to a standstill, the engine will auto-stop auto-
matically if the driver keeps the brake pedal
depressed.
To remind the driver that the engine
has been auto-stopped, the
Start/Stop symbol will illuminate in
the instrument panel and remain on
until the engine restarts.
If the ECO function* (see
page 134) is activated, the
engine may auto-stop before
the vehicle comes to a com-
plete standstill.
Auto-starting the engine
The engine restarts as soon as the driver
releases the brake pedal.
03 Your driving environment
Deactivating Start/Stop
In certain situations (e.g.,
driving in heavy, stop-and-go
traffic), it may be preferable
to deactivate Start/Stop.
This is done by pressing the
button in the center console.
The indicator light in the button will go out.
Start/Stop will remain deactivated until the
button is pressed again or until the engine is
switched off and restarted by the driver.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
When starting on steep hills, HSA (see
page 127) retains pressure on the brake pedal
for several seconds after the pedal has been
released in order to keep the vehicle at a
standstill. The brakes will be released after
several seconds or when the driver presses
the accelerator pedal.
