countries with general speed limits, or if a particular speed should not be
exceeded when winter tyres are fitted etc.
Note
Please bear in mind that, even with the speed warning function, it is still
important to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the speedometer and to
observe the legal speed limits.
The speed limit warning function in the version for several countries
warns you at a speed of 120 km/h (80 mph). This is a factory-set speed lim-
it.

Start-Stop system*
Description and operation
The Start-Stop system helps save fuel and reduce CO
2
emissions.
In Start-Stop mode, the engine will automatically switch off when the vehi-
cle stops, when stopping at traffic lights for example. The ignition remains
switched on during the stopping phase. The engine automatically switches
back on when required.
As soon as the ignition is switched on, the Start-Stop function is automati-
cally activated.
Basic requirements for the Start-Stop mode
The driver door must be closed.
The driver must have their seat belt fastened.
The bonnet must be closed.
The vehicle must have travelled at more than 4 km/h since the last stop.
The vehicle cannot be towing a trailer.
WARNING
Never switch the engine off until the vehicle is stationary. The brake
servo and power 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 vehi-
cle.
