Start & Stop system
The Start & Stop system helps to reduce fuel consumption and consequent CO2 emissions.
In Start & Stop mode, the engine turns off automatically when the vehicle is still, for example at a traffic light. The instrument cluster
remains on in this situation. The engine then restarts automatically as soon as it is needed.
Activating and deactivating the Start & Stop system
When the instrument cluster is turned on, the Start & Stop system is always
activated as well.
If you do not wish to use the system, it can be deactivated with the
button
on the centre console
