More on the stop/start system -
The system works by stopping the engine whenever the vehicle stays still for more than two seconds, then automatically starting again when the driver depresses the clutch pedal. For multi-drop delivery operations or driving through busy town and city centres, or in heavy traffic, the potential savings are significant.
The system is easily activated by a rocker switch on the dashboard, and even when on will only activate when the engine is up to normal operating temperature, and if the driver selects neutral and lifts off the clutch pedal while stationary.
