START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically stops
the engine whenever the car is stationary
and starts it again when the driver wants
to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle
by reducing fuel consumption, the emis-
sion of harmful gases and noise pollution.
The system is active every time the engine
is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car at a standstill, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and the
clutch released.
Note The engine can only be stopped au-
tomatically after a speed of about 10 km/h

ing repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.

play when the engine stops.
