Unique Driving Characteristics

AUTO-START-STOP

The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when your vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights.
WARNINGS
If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, move the transmission
selector lever to position P before
leaving your vehicle.
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or carrying out any
maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have shut down the engine but
the ignition will still be live.
Note: The auto-start-stop indicator
illuminates green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 79). It flashes amber with a message
when the driver needs to shift to neutral or
press a pedal. See Information Messages
(page 93). If it illuminates grey the system
is not available.
