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 acti-
vated automatically when the
engine is started with the key.
The driver is made aware of
this by the function's symbol
illuminating in the combined
instrument panel and the
On/Off button lamp illuminat-
ing.
All of the car's normal systems
such as lighting, radio, etc. work as normal even
with an engine that has stopped automatically,
except that some equipment may have the func-
tion temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate control
system's fan speed or extremely high volume on
the audio system.

then the engine may auto-stop

When the engine is auto-stopped, the
combined instrument panel's symbol
for the Start/Stop function illuminates.
