ECO start/stop function

start/stop function in the separate operating

The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically if the vehicle is stopped
under certain conditions.

wants to pull away again. The ECO start/stop
function thereby helps you to reduce the fuel
consumption and emissions of your vehicle.
