Stop & Start (Petrol)
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
(Depending on engine)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most
suitable gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are not
to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the traffic density
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the system’s advice.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
By default, the function is activated when the
ignition is switched on.
