STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode-duringstopsinthetrafc(red
lights,trafcjams,orother...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to
moveoff.
Therestarttakesplaceinstantly,
quicklyandsilently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
levelwhenstationary.
