The lighting state of the "START/STOP"
button indicates the presence or absence
of the electronic key in the passenger
compartment.
With petrol engines, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations for
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
