Operation
●
The engine coolant temperature is insuffi-
cient.
●
The alternator is faulty, for example the V-
belt has ruptured.
●
If any of the conditions described in the
previous section are not fulfilled.
When the engine is turned off by the Start-
Stop function, this is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
If the Start-Stop system is not switched on,
the warning lamp will appear on the instru-
ment panel.
WARNING
Never allow the vehicle to move with the en-
gine off for any reason. You could lose control
of your vehicle. This could cause an accident
and serious injury.
The brake servo does not work with the en-
●
gine off. You need more force to stop the vehi-
cle.
Power steering does not work when the en-
●
gine is not running. That is why it is much
more difficult to turn the steering wheel.
Turn off the Start-Stop system when driving
●
through water (fording streams, etc.).
Note
For vehicles with the Start-Stop function
●
and a manual gearbox, when the engine is
started, the clutch must be pressed.
When the conditions for the Start-Stop
●
function are not fulfilled, the instrument pan-
el displays the Start-Stop indicator dimmed.
If the steering wheel is turned more than
●
270°, it will not be possible to start the vehi-
cle again. To start the vehicle, straighten the
steering wheel so that it is turned less than
270°.
●
There are different versions of the dash
panel; the display of indications on the
screen may differ.
