Note
● In vehicles with an automatic gearbox,
you can control whether the engine should
switch off or not by reducing or increasing
the brake force applied. While the vehicle re-
mains stopped, the engine will not stop if the
brake pedal is slightly pressed, in traffic jams

to the brake pedal, the engine will stop.

mediately pressing the clutch pedal.
● If the lever is placed in position D, N or S af-
ter engaging reverse gear, 10 km/h (6 mph)
in a forwards direction must be reached for
