Start/Stop missing ??

Post by char »

Hey guys

I noticed in my new car (GTS) that there is no start/stop override button any more on the lower centre console, has that been abandoned now or just the option to turn it off ? :rolleyes:

Cheers

You cant get the bluemotion TDi140 or bluemotion 1.4 TSi engines in the GTS.

Cool thanks, I've got a 177 so its good to know they didnt bother with it on the GTS, as it never seemed to save any fuel :eek:

It can save fuel, but you must not use it all the time cause the start of an engine is the most fuel consuming.

I am using this feature only with very long waiting times at traffic lights where i know the rotation scheme.
