Audi 2014 A6 Getting To Know Manual - Start-Stop System

This advanced Audi technology is design to help save fuel and reduce 

CO

2

 emissions at the same time. It shuts off the engine when you stop 

at traffic signals or during certain stop-and-go driving conditions. 

When the system shuts off the engine, the Start-Stop System light 

appears in the Driver Information System in the instrument cluster. 

Releasing the brake pedal instantly restarts the engine and makes 

power available before your foot even reaches the accelerator. 

Simply drive as you normally would and it works seamlessly.
