Information on automatic restarting of engine

With the Stop&Start system activated in a stopped vehicle
condition, the driver can restart the engine by:
- releasing the brake pedal
- UP-shifting
- engaging reverse gear
- pressing the accelerator pedal.
Warning
If the engine is switched off accidentally and not by the
Stop&Start system, it must be restarted manually by the driver
by pressing the ENGINE START button and reengaging the gear
using the shift paddles located behind the steering wheel. This
condition is indicated on the left TFT display by the message
"Press ENGINE START button to restart", accompanied by an
acoustic signal.
For safety reasons and to guarantee comfort when the vehicle
is stationary and correct operating of the entire vehicle, the
Stop&Start system also automatically restarts the engine when:
- the ENGINE START button on the steering wheel has been
pressed
- the function has been deactivated by pressing the button located
on the roof panel
- the driver's seat belt has been unfastened
- the driver-side door has been opened

- the front "LIFT" system has been activated
- rear screen demisting has been requested or the air conditioning

The system also constantly monitors some of the vehicle operating
parameters (battery charge level, engine coolant temperature,
catalytic converter temperature, clutch oil temperature, vacuum
level in brake servo, climate comfort in passenger compartment,
vehicle speed) so that the engine can be automatically started in
certain conditions to guarantee safety and vehicle operating and
minimise the impact on on-board climate comfort.
