AUTO-START-STOP (If Equipped)
The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when your vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious injuries due to automatic
engine restart. Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have turned the engine off, but
the ignition will still be on and automatic
restart may occur. Note:
The auto-start-stop indicator
illuminates green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 92). It flashes amber with a message
when the driver needs to shift to neutral or
press a pedal. See Information Messages
(page
99). If it illuminates grey, the system
is not available. Using Auto Start-Stop With a
Manual Transmission
To Stop the Engine
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Shift into neutral.
3. Release the clutch and accelerator
pedal. To Re-Start the Engine

Note:
To obtain maximum benefit from the
system, move the transmission selector
lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal
during any stop of longer than three
seconds.
Note: Auto Start-Stop also comes with
stall recovery. If you fully press the clutch
pedal after stalling the engine, the engine
automatically restarts.
Using Auto Start-Stop With an
Automatic Transmission
To Stop the Engine

pedal is not pressed, a message will appear
on your instrument cluster. Press the brake
pedal within 10 seconds or you will need to
shift to park (P). A manual restart will be
required.
Note: If the Shift to P, Restart Engine
message appears and the amber Auto
Start-Stop indicator flashes, automatic
restart is not available. You must restart
your vehicle manually.
To Re-Start the Engine
Release the brake pedal or press the
accelerator pedal.
Limitations of Use
