Green Tech

A standard feature across both engine variants is Green Tech* - a technology 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 or clutch pedals are released. “Stop Start” 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.

*The Green Tech - Start/Stop system is designed to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It achieves this by automatically switching off the engine while the vehicle is stationary and then starting it again automatically when the driver wants to drive off. There are certain operating conditions where the Start/Stop system is deactivated (e.g. during engine warm-up), please refer to the owner's manual for full operating information.
