VW Self Study Programme, Document 426 - Start/Stop System 2009
Rising fuel prices and stricter emissions laws have made it necessary for us to look for ways to save energy and reduce exhaust gas emissions in vehicles. With this in mind, a start/stop system has been developed that automatically switches off the engine while the vehicle is standing at traffic lights or railway crossings. When you resume your journey, the engine is started again without you having to turn the ignition key.
