START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops
the engine each time the vehicle is sta-
tionary and starts it again when the driver
wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle
by reducing fuel consumption, the emis-
sion of harmful gases and noise pollution.
The system is activated each time the car
is started.

ically only after a speed of about 10 Km/h

ing repeatedly stopped when driving at
