Stop And Start Function - Renault Arcana User Manual

STOP AND START FUNCTION

This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated automatically when the vehicle
is started. During driving, the system
stops the engine (standby) when the
vehicle comes to a stop or is moving at
a slow speed (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc), depending on the vehicle.
