Start&Stop system

The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary and restarts it when the driver intends to move off again.

This reduces fuel consumption, harmful gas emissions and noise pollution.

Operating modes

Engine stop mode: with the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with the gearbox in neutral when the clutch pedal is released.

NOTE The engine can only stop automatically after exceeding a speed of approximately 10 km/h, to avoid repeated engine stops when driving at walking pace.

Engine restart mode: to restart the engine, press the clutch pedal.

Manual activation / deactivation of the system

To manually activate/deactivate the system, press the buttonfig. 88 located on the dashboard control panel.
