Note
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal temper-
■

eral hours until the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable
temperature for proper operation of the START STOP system.
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the ig-
■
nition key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened in
Stop mode for more than 30 seconds).
