IMPORTANT
❒
It is not possible to switch directly from “Dynamic” mode to “All
Weather” mode and vice versa. You must always first go back
to “Natural” mode and then select the other mode.
❒
If “All Weather” or “Natural ”mode was active when the engine was
stopped, the next time it is started the mode that was selected is
reactivated.
❒
In the event of system failure or a fault with lever A fig. 72, no
driving modes can be selected. The display will show a warning
message.
START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is increased, by reducing
consumption, emissions of harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in neutral and
clutch pedal released.
Note Note: the engine can only be stopped automatically after
exceeding about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.
The
fig. 78 symbol appears on the display when the engine stops.
