ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE
Warning
Only use the “Launch Control” function in appropriate traffic
conditions and in optimum safety and road surface conditions.

A
Stop&Start system
The vehicle is equipped with a system, called Stop&Start, that
automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary and restarts
it automatically when the driver wants to set off again.
The aim of the Stop&Start function is to increase vehicle efficiency by
reducing CO
2
emissions especially when driving around town.
Automatic stopping and restarting of the engine is controlled by sensors
and control strategies which, while reducing the impact on vehicle
flexibility and comfort to a minimum, guarantee full operating of the
safety systems and all the on-board systems even when the engine is
switched off, without affecting climate comfort.
Warning
Never abandon the vehicle without switching off the instrument panel
(KEY-OFF).
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Warning
Make sure that the engine is switched off with the instrument panel
deactivated before refuelling.
Warning
Always make sure that the Stop&Start system has been deactivated
before carrying out any repair and/or maintenance work as indicated
on the special labels in the engine compartment and underneath the
vehicle.
Failure to comply with the above may pose a risk of serious injury to
people working on the vehicle.
