ECO start/stop function

Introduction

The ECO start/stop function switches the

engine off automatically if the vehicle is

stopped under certain conditions.

The engine starts automatically when the

driver wants to pull away again. The ECO

start/stop function thereby helps you to

reduce the fuel consumption and emissions

of your vehicle.
