automatically as soon as the clutch is
depressed. A battery sensor ensures
that an Autostop is only performed if
the vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged for a restart.

vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation

LED in the button extinguishes.

follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ set the lever in neutral
■ release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while
