Function and operation
On/Off button and display text
AUTO START
.
The Start/Stop system is activated automati-
cally when the engine is started with the key.
The driver is made aware of this function by
means of the On/Off button's green lamp being
illuminated.
NOTE
After starting with the key and each auto-
stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before
the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti-
vated - following which certain conditions
must also be fulfilled, refer to these under
the heading "The engine does not auto-
stop".
All of the car's normal systems such as lighting,
radio, etc. work as normal even with an auto-
stopped engine, except that some equipment
may have its function temporarily reduced, e.g.
the climate control system's fan speed or
extremely high volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engine
In order that the engine will auto-stop the car
must be stationary:
•
Set the gear lever in neutral position and
release the clutch pedal - the engine is
switched off.
The display text
AUTO
START
, and the button's illu-
minated green lamp, reminds
- and indicates - that the
engine has been auto-stop-
ped.
Auto-starting the engine
With the gear lever in neutral position:
•
Depress the clutch pedal - the engine
starts.
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal - the engine
starts.
If the car is on a downhill slope:
•
Release the foot brake and let the car roll
faster than normal walking pace - the
engine starts.
After starting the engine:
•
Engage a suitable gear and continue the
journey.
Gear indicator
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
to change gear in time.
The driver is assisted by an
indicator which notifies the
driver when it is most advan-
tageous to engage the next
higher or lower gear - GSI
(Gear Shift Indicator).
Indication is made with an up or down arrow in
the combined instrument panel's lower dis-
play.
