Start/Stop – introduction
Start/Stop – function
Function and use
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily
switches off the engine when the vehicle is
not moving, for instance in heavy traffic or at a
traffic light to help reduce fuel consumption.
When starting on steep hills, HSA (see Trans-
mission – general information (p. 252)) retains
pressure on the brake pedal for several sec-
onds after the pedal has been released in
order to keep the vehicle at a standstill. The
brakes will be released after several seconds
or when the driver presses the accelerator
pedal. The pedal will return to its normal posi-
tion somewhat slower than normal.
Start/Stop is available with certain engines/
transmissions.

All of the vehicle's systems will function while
the engine is auto-stopped, although the
function of certain systems may reduced at
this time. For example, blower speed and
high infotainment system volume may be
reduced to help conserve the battery's
capacity.
