On a few occasions now I have pulled up at traffic lights and the engine turned itself of as normal, it then restarted itself without me pressing the clutch or anything else.

- the ""Clear View""� function is activated (please see the information on ""Air conditioning""� in Section 3);
- the battery is not sufficiently charged;
- the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (downhill slope, etc.);
- repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system requirement;
-...
