WARNING
●
Never switch the engine o until the v
ehi-
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

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

ple. 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.

aft
er 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.
