7.1
Safety precautions for vehicles with
“start-stop” system
Caution
Risk of injury from automatic engine start.
♦ On vehicles with activated start-stop system (recogniza‐
ble by a message in the dash panel insert) there is a risk
that the engine can start automatically.
♦ It is therefore necessary to ensure that the start-stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when carrying out work on the vehicle
(switch ignition off, if required switch ignition on again).
7.2
General description
The start-stop system is designed to reduce fuel consumption and
thus contributes to the reduction of pollutant emissions.
For this purpose the engine automatically switches off during
standstill phases of the vehicle and restarts automatically or when
operating the clutch pedal.
The system is always automatically activated when the ignition is
switched on and can be deactivated with the “start-stop” button in
the centre console.
Detailed description of the function as well as conditions for the
operation of the start-stop system see:
♦ ⇒ Self-study programme No. 86 ; Start-stop system in Škoda
vehicles
♦ ⇒ Owner's manual Octavia II
