START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
