Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
106) 107) 108) 109)
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
Versions with Comfort-matic
transmission
With the vehicle stationary and the
brake pedal pressed, the engine stops
if the gear lever is in position other
than
R . In the event of stops uphill,
engine switching off is disabled to make
the "Hill Holder" function available
(works only with the engine running).
The warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to signal that the
engine has stopped.
Restarting the engine
Versions with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.
Versions with Comfort-matic
transmission
Releasing the brake pedal the engine
restarts automatically; the icon switches
off on the display. If the engine is
restarted with the “Hill Holder” function
off, move the lever towards (
+ ), ( - ) or
R and the engine restarts.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The device can be turned on/off by
means of the button shown in fig. 114
on the dashboard. When the function is
not active, the button LED is on. In
addition, on some versions, additional
information concerning the deactivation
or activation of the Start&Stop system
is given through a message on the
display.
On some versions, the Start&Stop
system will be activated every time the
vehicle is started, even though it was
deactivated before switching the vehicle
off.
