Fig. 88 Inst rument cluster : engi ne switc hed off (stop
phase)
.. Slow the vehicle to a stop using the brake
and keep pressing the brake pedal. The en-
gine will switch off. The
[I] indicator light
appears in the information line in the instru-
ment cluster display.
On the road 89
.. When you take your foot off the brake ped -
al, the engine restarts. The indicator light
turns off.
Additional information
The eng ine will switch off in the P, D, N and S
pos itions as well as in manual mode. In the P
position, the engine will also remain off if you
take your foot off the brake pedal. The engine
starts again when you select another selector
lever position and take your foot off the brake
pedal.
If you se lect the R position during a Stop
phase, the engine will start again.
Shift from D to P quickly to prevent the engine
from starting unintentionally when shifting
through R.
You can determine for yourself if the engine
will stop or not by reducing or increasing the
amount of force you use to press the brake
pedal. For example, if you only lightly press
on the brake pedal in stop-and and-go traffic
or when turning, the engine will not switch off
when the vehicle is stationary. As soon as you
press the brake down harder, the engine will
switch off.
