Start-stop system

The start-stop system increases fuel economy and lowers harmful emissions. If, for example, you come to a standstill in a traffic jam and take your foot off the clutch, the engine automatically switches itself off. Simply depress the clutch pedal to move off again. The start-stop system is one of the efficient and environmentally compatible technologies offered by Volkswagen under our BlueMotion Technologies.
