The engine shutdown is carried out on vehicles with manual transmission in the following conditions if no switch-off inhibitor is active:

• Vehicle stationary
• No gear engaged
• Clutch pedal not pressed.

The engine shutdown is carried out on vehicles with automatic transmission in the following conditions if no switch-off inhibitor is active:

On vehicles with the "Automatic Hold" function the brake pedal may be released after a vehicle standstill without starting the engine.
