the brake force applied. While the vehicle
remains stopped, the engine will not stop if
the brake pedal is slightly pressed, in traffic
jams with frequent stopping and starting
for example. As soon as strong pressure is
applied to the brake pedal, the engine will
stop.
In vehicles with manual gearbox, during
●
the stopping phases the brake pedal must
remain depressed to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
If the engine "stalls" in vehicles with
●
manual gearbox, it can be directly started
up again by immediately pressing the
clutch pedal.
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, if
●
the selector lever is placed in position D, N
or S after engaging reverse gear, the vehi-
cle must be driven at a speed faster than 10
km/h (6 mph) for the system to return to
conditions in which the engine can be stop-
ped.

Hill Descent Control limits the speed on steep
descents by automatically braking all four
wheels, both when moving forward and in re-
verse. As the anti-lock brake system remains
