About your Vehicle
Permanent deactivation of automatic restarting and manual start procedures
After automatically switching off the engine using the Stop&Start
system, automatic restarting requested by the driver may not always
be possible: this means that the vehicle systems have permanently
deactivated automatic restarting.
If this occurs, the vehicle must be restarted manually: this condition
is indicated on the TFT display by the message “Press ENGINE
START button to restart”, accompanied by an acoustic signal.
Warning
If automatic restarting is permanently disabled, the vehicle
behaves in the same way as a vehicle with no Stop&Start system:
to restart, the driver must perform a manual start by pressing
the
ENGINE START
button and using the shift paddles located
behind the steering wheel.
Permanent deactivation of automatic restarting occurs when:
- the luggage compartment lid or engine compartment lid are open;
- automatic engine restarting has not been successful;
- a failure has been detected that may interfere with operating of the
Stop&Start system.
At times, depending on the seriousness of the failure, the
ENGINE
START
button may have to be held down for a few seconds to restart
the engine: this condition is indicated on the left TFT display by the
message “Press and hold ENGINE START button to start”.
