About your Vehicle
Stop&Start system (optional)
Vehicles with the optional HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions)
system have a Stop&Start system that automatically stops the engine
when the vehicle is stationary and restarts it, again automatically,
when the driver wants to set off again.
The aim of the Stop&Start function is to increase vehicle efficiency
by reducing CO
2
emissions especially when driving around town.
Automatic stopping and restarting of the engine is controlled by
sensors and control strategies which, while reducing the impact
on vehicle flexibility and comfort to a minimum, guarantee full
operating of the safety systems and all the on-board systems even
when the engine is switched off, without affecting climate comfort.
