The engine is also started automatically if:

 - the vehicle starts to roll.
 - the brake system requires this.
 - the system detects moisture on the windshield when the air-conditioning system is switched on.
 - the charge level of the battery is too low.
 - the driver's seat belt is removed or the driver's door is opened.
