matic gearbox
The engine stops when the selector lever is in D,
N and S, as well as in Tiptronic mode. With the
selector lever in P, the engine will also remain
switched o when you take your foot o the
brake pedal.
In order to start the engine up again the ac-
celerator must be pressed, or another gear en-
gaged or the brake released.
If the selector lever is placed in R while stopped,
the engine will start up again.
Change from D to P to prevent the engine from
accidentally starting when passing through R.

WARNING
●
Never switch the engine o until the v

cle is stationary. The operation of the brake

More force will be needed to turn the steer-
ing wheel or to brake. You could suer an
accident and even serious injuries.

Note
●
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox,
you can control whether the engine should
switch o or not by reducing or increasing
the brake force applied. While the vehicle re-
mains stopped, the engine will not stop if the
brake pedal is slightly pressed, in trac jams
with frequent stopping and starting for exam-
pl
e. As soon as strong pressure is applied to
the brake pedal, the engine will stop.
●
When stopped, the brake pedal must be
kept pressed to ensure that the vehicle does
not move.
●
If the engine “stalls” with a manual gear-
box, it can be directly started up again by
immediately pressing the clutch pedal.
●
If the lever is placed in position D, N or S
after engaging reverse gear, 10km/h (6mph)
in a forwards direction must be reached for
the system to be in a condition to stop the
engine.
