ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, when the car and the passenger
compartment climate control system
are in certain conditions, such as:
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
pressing the clutch pedal.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped through
the Stop/Start system, if the driver
releases their seat belt or opens the
driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
ignition device.
This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message
on the display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
If, following the automatic engine
restarting, the driver does not carry out
any action for more than 3 minutes, the
Stop/Start system stops the engine
definitely, to prevent fuel consumption.
In these cases, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition device.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
For failure indications, see the "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph,
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY

must be paid to the disconnection of
the battery power supply.
WARNING
122) If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace
the battery with a new one of the same
type and specifications.
IMPORTANT
49) If the climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
