Deactivating the Start/Stop function
In certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily
switch off the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out with a push of
this button.
Disengaged function is indicated by
the combined instrument panel's
Start/Stop symbol and the On/Off
button's lamp extinguishing.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it
is reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.
Start assistance HSA
The foot brake can also be released on an
uphill slope to auto-start the engine - the HSA
(p. 275) (Hill Start Assist) function prevents
the car from rolling backwards.
HSA means that the pressure in the brake
system remains temporarily available while
the driver moves his/her foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal for driving off
with the engine having stopped automatically.
The temporary braking effect releases after a
couple of seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.
