Start/Stop* - function and operation
The Start/Stop function is activated automati-
cally when the engine is started with the key.
The Start/Stop function is
activated automatically when
the engine is started with the
key. The driver is alerted to
the function by means of the
symbol for the On/Off button

All of the car's normal systems such as light-
ing, radio, etc. work as normal even with an
engine that has stopped automatically,
except that some equipment may have the
function temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate
control system's fan speed or extremely high
volume on the audio system.
