The start and stop feature lets you temporarily turn the engine off during brief stops, such as when you stop at a traffic light. It then turns the engine back on once you’re ready to drive again. This helps you reduce your fuel consumption and the car’s emissions.
You can see the status of the start and stop feature in the driver display.
 | The start and stop feature is active and the engine is temporarily turned off. |
 | The start and stop feature is available but not active. |
 | The start and stop feature is unavailable. |
All of the car's systems continue to work while the engine is turned off by the start and stop feature. However, some functions, such as speaker volume, might operate at a reduced capacity until the engine is turned back on.
