START&STOP SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is increased, by
reducing consumption, emissions of harmful gases
and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox
in neutral and clutch pedal released.
Note The engine can only be stopped automatically
after exceeding a speed of about 10 km/h, to prevent
the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The
symbol appears on the display when the
engine stops.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
