- Unwanted automatic engine stop
- Annoyance in stop-start traffic
- Concern over starter and battery load
Benefits
- System stays off at every start
- Less load on starter and battery
- Driving comfort

Frequently asked questions
Is it turned off permanently?
Yes. Instead of pressing the button every time, the system is set to off by default.
Does it affect battery and starter life?
Constant stopping and starting loads the starter and battery; switching it off reduces that load.
Will fuel use increase?
In heavy city traffic there can be a very small increase; on longer runs there is no difference.
