tem automatically switches off the engine dur‐
ing a stop, e.g., in traffic congestion or at traffic
lights. The ignition remains switched on. The
engine starts again automatically when the
clutch is pressed.
Certain vehicle components may experience
additional wear as a result of this system.
Automatic operation
The automatic engine Start/Stop function is
operational after each engine start. It is acti‐
vated whenever you drive forward faster than
3 mph/5 km/h.

ing a stop under the following conditions:▷Neutral gear is engaged and the clutch
pedal is not depressed.▷The driver's safety belt is fastened or the

When the engine is switched off, the air vol‐
ume of the air conditioner or automatic climate
control is reduced.

Parking brake The concept
Your vehicle is equipped with an electrome‐
chanical parking brake that can be set and re‐
leased by using a switch.
The parking brake is primarily used to prevent
the vehicle from rolling when it is parked.
When the vehicle is stationary, the parking
brake acts on the rear wheels via an electro‐
mechanical mechanism. When the vehicle is
rolling or being driven, the parking brake acts
on the disc brakes of the front and rear wheels
via the hydraulic brake system.
Setting
Pull the switch. The parking brake is set.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster and the LED on the switch light
up red. The parking brake is set.

To set the parking brake, the remote control
does not need to be in the ignition lock.
While driving
If exceptional circumstances should make it
necessary to engage the parking brake while
the vehicle is in motion, pull the switch for an
extended period: the vehicle brakes forcefully
while the switch is being pulled.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up red, a sound is issued
and the brake lights light up.
