1. Press the Start/Stop button while
applying brake or clutch pedal.
2. Keep applying brake or clutch
pedal until the Preheating
indicator light turns off.
3. The engine will start automatically
after turning off the Preheating
indicator light without pressing the
button.
Also the engine can start with
pressing the Start/Stop button again
when the pre-heating is being
continued. But the engine may not
start because the pre-heating is not
completed. Let the engine warm up
without applying the accelerator
pedal in extremely cold weather or
after the vehicle has not been
operated for several days. Whether
the engine is cold or warm, it should
be started without applying the
accelerator pedal.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but
accelerator is released.
Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It starts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch is
depressed. A battery sensor ensures
that an Autostop is only performed if
the battery is sufficiently charged for
a restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
