A standard feature across both petrol variants is Green Tech – an initiative allowing for further improvement in fuel economy through the "Start Stop" and Brake Energy Recuperation features. "Start Stop" allows the engine to automatically switch off when idle and immediately switch back on as soon as the brake is released. "Start Stop" can be deactivated when required. In addition, Brake Energy Recuperation enables the use of kinetic energy to charge the car battery when the brakes are applied.
*Reactivation of "Start Stop" will not occur in certain conditions.
Parking is made easier with a rear view camera standard on all models.
Advance Keyless Entry including Smart Start (KESSY)*
KESSY can be added to allow the driver to lock and unlock the car and start and stop the engine without
having to insert or even handle the key. As long as the key is within 1.5m of the sensor, the system will work, and a number of simply clever features ensure you can check the lock, preventing you from locking the key inside and preventing unwanted access.
*Included in optional Premium Sports Pack.
Rain Sensor and Light Assist*

Rain lights: Turns the lights on when the wipers are activated.
