Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine  restarts  automatically  -  START  mode  -  as  soon  as  you  want  to  move  off.  The  restart  takes  place  instantly,  quickly  and  silently.
Per fect
 for  urban  use,  the  Stop  &  Start  system  reduces  fuel  consumption  and  exhaust  emissions  as  well  as  the  noise  level  when  stationary.
