Preventing an automatic engine stop
with a double-clutch transmission
The concept
To make it possible to drive away very quickly,
such as at an intersection, the automatic en‐
gine stop can be actively prevented.
Preventing an engine stop using the
brake pedal
The engine stop can be actively prevented
within one second after the vehicle comes to a
standstill.
▷
Immediately after the vehicle comes to a
standstill, briefly press the brake pedal
forcefully.
