Stop&Start system (optional)
Vehicles with optional HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions)
technology are equipped with a Stop&Start system which
automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary and
restarts it automatically when the driver wants to set off again.
The aim of the Stop&Start function is to increase vehicle efficiency
by reducing CO
emissions especially when driving around town.
2
Automatic stopping and restarting of the engine is controlled by
sensors and control strategies which, while reducing the impact
on vehicle flexibility and comfort to a minimum, guarantee full
operating of the safety systems and all the on-board systems even
when the engine is switched off, without affecting climate comfort.
Warning
Never abandon the vehicle without switching off the instrument
panel (KEY-OFF see page 135).
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Warning
Make sure that the engine is switched off with the instrument
panel deactivated before refuelling.

Warning
Always make sure that the Stop&Start system has been
deactivated before carrying out any repair and/or maintenance
work as indicated on the special labels in the engine
compartment and underneath the vehicle.
Failure to comply with the above may pose a risk of serious
injury to people working on the vehicle.
Warning
Drivers are responsible for leaving a vehicle with the key inside:
drivers must always switch off the engine and instrument panel
and take the key with them before getting out of the vehicle.
Warning
Leaving the vehicle with the instrument panel activated puts
those who are in the vicinity of the vehicle at serious risk if the
engine starts unexpectedly.
Warning
Always switch off the instrument panel and remove the key from
the vehicle before changing the tyres.
