Start and driving
Manually connecting and discon-
necting the Start-Stop system
increasing the brake force applied. While
the vehicle remains stopped, the engine
will not stop if the brake pedal is slightly
pressed, in traffic jams with frequent stop-
ping and starting for example. As soon as
strong pressure is applied to the brake ped-
al, the engine will stop.
Note
The system switches on every time the en-
gine is turned off voluntarily.
Manual gearbox
●
When stopped, the brake pedal must be
kept pressed to ensure that the vehicle
does not move.
Changing gears
●
If the engine “stalls” with a manual gear-
box, it can be directly started up again by
immediately pressing the clutch pedal.
●
With an automatic gearbox, if the lever is
placed in position D, N or S after engaging
reverse gear, 10 km/h (6 mph) in a forwards
direction must be reached for the system to
be in a status to stop the engine.
