SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and opens
the driver's door or the passenger door,
the engine can be restarted only by
using the key. The driver is notified of
this condition by a buzzer, through the
instrument panel warning light fig.
105 flashing and, where provided, by a
message in the display.

attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power
supply. Proceed as follows: detach the
connector A fig. 106 (by pressing
button B) from battery status
monitoring sensor C installed on the
negative battery pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is replaced.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP, wait at least 1 minute
before disconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.
