Additional information
The engine will switch off in the P, D, N and S po-

tion , the engine will also remain off if you take
your foot off the brake pedal. The eng ine starts
again when you select another selector lever po-
sition and take your foot off the brake pedal.

Shift from D to P quickly to prevent the engine

You can determine for yourself if the engine will
stop or not by reducing or increasing the amount
of force you use to press the brake pedal. For ex-
ample , if you only light ly press on the brake ped-
al in stop-and and-go traffic or when turning, the

harder, the engine will switch off.
