auto-stop innovation standard in all cayenne line, regular cayenne, cayenne S, tubro as well as the hybrid!

All Cayenne models equipped with the new eight-speed Tiptronic S also feature a fuel-saving innovation, the Auto Start Stop function. When activated, here’s how it works: Say, for example, you are stopped at a traffic light with your foot on the brake pedal. The Auto Start Stop function will automatically turn off the engine. But not everything stops: All audio and communication systems remain switched on, and the standard climate control continues to maintain the selected temperature. Although the engine is not running, the only change you’ll perceive is peace and quiet, and—thanks to greater fuel economy—peace of mind. Remove your foot from the brake and the engine instantly returns to life. The system is deactivated in certain situations, such as when the outside temperature is very high or the battery charge is low. The starter motor has been revised to cope with the additional demands of the system, and the battery is continuously monitored for the level of charge and condition. The battery and starter motor are replacement parts that are subject to greater wear and tear with frequent use of the Auto Start Stop function.
