, in addition to
when in Triptonic mode. With the selector lev-
er in position P, the engine will also remain
switched off when you take your foot off the
brake pedal. In order to start the engine up
again the accelerator must be pressed, or
another gear engaged or the brake released.
If the selector lever is placed in position R dur-
ing the stopping phase, the engine will start
up again.
Change from position D to P to prevent the
engine from accidentally starting when
changing and passing by position R.
Additional information about vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
In vehicles with ACC function, the engine will
start up again in certain operating conditions
if the radar sensor detects that the vehicle
ahead drives off again.
WARNING
●
Never s
witch the engine off until the vehi-
cle is stationary. The brake servo and pow-
er steering functions will not be completely
covered under warranty. More force may
also be needed to turn the steering wheel
or to brake. As you cannot steer and brake
in the normal manner, there is a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury.
●
Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, the
steering could lock making it impossible to
steer the vehicle.
●
To avoid injury, make sure that the Start-
Stop system is switched off when working
in the engine compartment

CAUTION
The Start-Stop system must always be
switched off when driving thr
ough flooded
areas

Note
●
In vehicles with an aut
omatic gearbox,
you can control whether the engine should
switch off or not by reducing or increasing
the brake force applied. While the vehicle
remains stopped, the engine will not stop if
the brake pedal is slightly pr
essed, in traffic
jams with frequent stopping and starting
for example. As soon as strong pressure is
applied to the brake pedal, the engine will
stop.
●
In vehicles with manual gearbox, during
the stopping phases the brake pedal must
remain depressed to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
●
If the engine “stalls” in vehicles with
manual gearbox, it can be directly started
up again by immediately pressing the
clutch pedal.
●
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, if
the selector lever is placed in position D, N
or S after engaging reverse gear, the vehi-
cle must be driven at a speed faster than 10
km/h (6 mph) for the system to return to
conditions in which the engine can be stop-
ped.
1)
Except in the CUPRA model. In this case, when
you place the select
or lever in the S position or in
the Tiptronic mode, the Start/Stop system will
prevent the engine from switching off.
