Start&Stop System (Automatic Stopping And Starting) - Opel MOVANO Owner's Manual

START&STOP
SYSTEM
(AUTOMATIC
STOPPING AND
STARTING)
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the transmission in neutral
and the clutch pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding about
7 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving
at walking pace. Engine stopping is
signalled by the icon on the display.
Versions with automatic
transmission
With vehicle at a standstill and brake
pedal pressed, the engine switches off
if the gear lever is in a position other
than (R).
NOTE On versions with automatic
transmission in the event of stops
uphill, the engine switching off is
disabled to activate the "Hill Holder"
function (works only with running
engine).
NOTE After automatic restarting, for the
Stop&Start system to intervene again
simply move the vehicle (at speed
higher than 0.5 km/h for versions with
automatic transmission or 7 km/h for
versions with manual transmission).
The warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to signal that the
engine has stopped
Restarting the engine
Versions with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Versions with automatic
transmission
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal. The icon on the display
switches off. With brake pressed, if the
gear lever is in automatic mode - D
(Drive) - the engine can be restarted by
moving the lever to R (Reverse) or N
(Neutral). With the brake pedal pressed,
if the gear lever is in "Manual mode"
mode, the engine can be restarted by
moving the lever to "+", "–", R (Reverse)
or N (Neutral).
When the engine has been stopped
automatically, keeping the brake pedal
pressed, the brake can be released
keeping the engine off by quickly
shifting the gear lever to P (Park). To
restart the engine, just move the lever
out of position P.
