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
Always fully apply the parking brake.
Make sure you shift into park (P) for
vehicles with an automatic
transmission. Switch the ignition off and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle.
Before opening the hood or
performing any maintenance, fully
apply the parking brake, shift into
park (P) or neutral (N) and switch the
ignition off.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving the vehicle. If the ignition is
switched on an automatic restart
may occur at any time.
The system may require the engine
to automatically restart when the
auto-start-stop indicator illuminates
green or flashes amber. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.
Note: The Auto-Start-Stop indicator
illuminates green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 87). It flashes amber with a message
when the driver needs to shift to neutral or
press a pedal. See Information Messages
(page 96). If it illuminates grey, the system
is not available.
