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 both by a buzzer
and through an information message in the display and
by the warning light fig. 98 on the instrument panel
flashing.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the
driver does not take any action for a period of about
three minutes, the Start&Stop system will definitively
stop the engine to avoid fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only by using the key.
RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting pollutant emissions and
safety purposes, the power unit can restart automatically
without any action on behalf of the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒
battery not sufficiently charged;
❒
windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒
reduced braking system pressure, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
❒
car in motion, for example when driving on steep
roads;
❒
stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system
for more than about three minutes;
❒
automatic climate control system for establishing a
comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX –
DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be automatically
restarted only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is asked to perform this operation through
a message on the instrument panel and, where provided,
by the warning light fig. 97 on the instrument panel
flashing.
Note If the clutch is not depressed when three minutes
have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the engine
can only be restarted using the key.
Note In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can be restarted by fully
depressing the clutch pedal or by putting the gear lever
into neutral.
