Some additional conditions for the system to function correctly cannot be in-
fluenced or recognised by the driver. Therefore, the system can react differ-
ently in situations which are identical from the driver's perspective.
If after stopping the car, the message UNABLE TO START STOP appears in the
segment display or in the MAXI DOT display the check mark 
the conditions for automatic engine shutdown are not met.
Running the engine is essential for the following reasons, for example.
›
The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
›
The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
›
The current consumption is too high.
›
High air conditioning capacity (high fan speed, big difference between the
desired and actual interior temperature).

Note
If the vehicle remains outdoors for a long time in minus temperatures or in
■

vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for proper operation of the sys-
tem.

■
driver's door is opened during stop mode, the engine will have to be started
manually.
After the manual engine start and with a manual gearbox the automatic en-
■
