Engine Restarting Conditions
Due to comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine can restart automatically
without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on roads
with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start system
for more than approx. three minutes.
With the automatic climate control active,
an adjustment in cabin heating or cooling is
made or with MAX-DEF function active.
Safety Functions
When the engine is stopped through the Stop/
Start system, if the driver releases their seat
belt, opens the driver's or passenger's door, or
opens the hood from inside the vehicle, the
engine can be restarted only by using the igni-
tion.
This condition is indicated to the driver both
through a buzzer and a message on the instru-
ment cluster display.
Irregular Operation
In the event of malfunction, the Stop/Start
system is deactivated.
For failure indications, refer to "Warning Lights
and Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information.
Vehicle Inactivity
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention must be
paid to the disconnection of the battery power
supply.
Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to disconnect
sensor (battery status monitoring) installed on
the negative pole of the battery. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
