Your vehicle may be equipped with a “Stop & Start” system, in association with an Electronic Gearbox System; this shuts down the engine during stopping phases (red lights, traffi c jams, temporary halts, etc.).
During these phases, your vehicle uses no fuel, emits no pollut ants and is completely silent.
The engine restarts instantly when you want to move forward ag ain.
Functioning of the “Stop & Start” system:
If you brake to stop your vehicle, the engine shuts down just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt; the green “ECO” warning lamp lights up in the instrument panel. The en gine remains shut down for as long as you keep your foot, even lightly, on the brake pedal.
As you release the brake pedal, the engine restarts automaticall y and instantly. The green “ECO” warning lamp goes out. You can then accelerate to move forward again.
