The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious way of driving the car by means of
being able to allow the engine to stop auto-
matically, whenever appropriate.
Manual or Automatic
Note that there are differences in the
Start/Stop function depending on whether the
gearbox is manual or automatic.

Start/Stop* - function and operation
Some engine and gearbox combinations are
equipped with a Start/Stop function which
engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic
or waiting at traffic lights. The Start/Stop
function is activated automatically when the
engine is started with the key.
The Start/Stop function is
activated automatically when
the engine is started with the
key. The driver is made
aware of this by the func-
tion's symbol illuminating in
the combined instrument
panel and the On/Off button
lamp illuminating.
All of the car's normal sys-
tems such as lighting, radio, etc. work as nor-
mal even with an engine that has stopped
automatically, except that some equipment
may have the function temporarily reduced,
e.g. the climate control system's fan speed or
extremely high volume on the audio system.
Engine auto-stop
The following is required for the engine to
auto-stop:
Conditions M/A
A
Declutch, set the gear lever in neu-
tral position and release the clutch
pedal - the engine stops automati-
cally.
M

and then keep your foot on the
pedal - the engine auto-stops.
A
A
M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
If the ECO function is acti-
vated then the engine may
auto-stop before the car is
completely stationary.
As verification and reminder that the
engine is auto-stopped the com-
bined instrument panel's symbol for
the Start/Stop function illuminates.
