The concept

To make it possible to drive away very quickly, such as at an intersection, the automatic engine stop can be actively prevented.

The engine stop can be actively prevented within one second after the vehicle comes to a standstill.

► Immediately after the vehicle comes to a standstill, briefly press the brake pedal forcefully.
► Then press the brake pedal with normal braking force.
