The stop&start function turns off the engine when you stop in traffic or at a traffic light, then restarts the engine as soon as you release the clutch, aiming to reduce emissions. This function can also be disabled using a specific button on the dashboard, identifiable by an 'A' surrounded by an arrow.

There are also conditions where the function automatically deactivates, such as when the battery loses efficiency, and the message 'STOP&START FUNCTION NOT AVAILABLE' appears on the instrument display.
