Start / Stop System (If
equipped)
How does the Start / Stop System
work?
Let's take a simple example of driving in
traffic conditions within the city. Assume
that your vehicle has stopped at a traffic
junction due to red signal. The following
steps illustrate how the system functions.
1. Vehicle has come to a halt due to
traffic signal / jam. The vehicle is in
neutral gear and the clutch pedal is
fully released.
2. Immediately after releasing the
clutch pedal fully, the indicator in the
cluster will blink, indicating that the
engine is going to stop shortly.
Engine will automatically shut down
in 2 seconds after releasing the
clutch pedal fully.
3. Once the engine stops, the indicator
will illuminate continuously in your
instrument cluster indicating the
engine was stopped by the Start /
Stop System.
4. Once the traffic signal turns green,
pressing the clutch pedal will start
the engine.
5. Indicator in the cluster goes OFF
indicating that the engine has started
again and you are ready to drive on.
