Automatic ignition disconnection
When the vehicle detects that there is no
driver once the engine has stopped, after a
certain time the ignition is switched off auto-
matically. If at that time the dipped beam
headlights are on, the side lights will stay on
for approx. 30 minutes. The side lights can
be turned off by blocking the vehicle

Automatic deactivation of the ignition on
vehicles with the Start-Stop system

when the vehicle is stopped and the auto-
matic engine shutdown is active, if:
●
The driver's seat belt is not fastened,
●
the driver does not step on any pedal,
●
the driver door is opened.
After automatically turning off the ignition, if
the dipped beam  is on, the side light re-
mains on for approx. 30 minutes (if there is
enough charge in the battery). If the driver
locks the vehicle or manually turns off the
light, the side light goes out.

time after the journey is complete it switches
off automatically to prevent draining the 12-
