Start/stop function

Driving with start/stop function

With the start/stop function, the engine

switches off temporarily when the car has

stopped e.g. at traffic lights or in a traffic

queue, and then starts again when it is nee-

ded.

The start/stop function reduces fuel consump-

tion, which in turn contributes to reduced

exhaust emissions.

The start/stop function temporarily switches

off the engine when stationary and then

starts it automatically when required.

The Start/Stop function is available when the

car is started and can be activated if certain

conditions have been met.

Declutch, set the gear lever in neutral

position and release the clutch pedal - the

engine stops automatically.

In drive mode Comfort or Eco, the engine

may auto-stop before the car is completely

stationary.

The driver display indicates when the function
