Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Manually deactivating/activating the system
Information messages
The START STOP system (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces CO
emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
or is at a standstill (e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it
again when moving off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button ).

Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.
