Auto Start/Stop function

Savings can begin within a few seconds of switching off the engine.
Using this system can cause certain components of the vehicle to become worn prematurely.
Iin addition, fuel consumption is also determined by other factors, such as driving style, road conditions, maintenance or environmental factors.
