Stop & Start

~1min read

The Stop & Start function temporarily switches the engine to standby - STOP mode - during pauses in traffic (red lights, traffic jams...).

The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as the driver wants to move off.

Restarting is immediate, quick and quiet.

The Stop & Start function, ideally suited to city driving, reduces fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and noise while the vehicle is stationary.
