Note

In vehicles with an automatic gearbox,
you can control whether the engine should

ple. As soon as strong pressure is applied to
the brake pedal, the engine will stop.

When stopped, the brake pedal must be
kept pressed to ensure that the vehicle does
not move.

If the engine “stalls” with a manual gear-
box, it can be directly started up again by
immediately pressing the clutch pedal.

If the lever is placed in position D, N or S
after engaging reverse gear, 10km/h (6mph)
in a forwards direction must be reached for
the system to be in a condition to stop the
engine.
