Stop/Start System; Alfa Active Suspension (Aas) - If Equipped - Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 User Manual

ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle's electronic suspensions
management system is the result of a
sophisticated elaboration of the various
board sensors, aimed at optimizing the
vehicle's performance.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspension through the
actuator installed on each shock
absorber. The calibration of the shock
absorbers can be adjusted to the
conditions of the road surface and to the
dynamic conditions of the vehicle,
improving its comfort and road handling.
The driver can choose, even while driving,
(only in "Dynamic" mode), between two
types of suspension calibration: a more
sporty or a more comfortable one.
By pushing the button, the system will
work with the shock absorber calibration
which favors driving comfort.

STOP/START SYSTEM

The Stop/Start system automatically
shuts off the engine during a vehicle stop
if the required conditions are met.
Releasing the brake pedal or accelerator
pedal will automatically restart the
engine.
The function was developed to increase
vehicle efficiency by reducing fuel
consumption, gas emissions, and sound
pollution.
Note:
When the Stop/Start system stops the
engine, the power steering is also
disabled.
Operating Mode
Stopping The Engine
With the vehicle at a standstill and brake
pedal pressed, the engine switches off if
the gear selector is in a position other
than REVERSE (R).
The system does not operate when the
gear selector is in REVERSE (R), in order
to make parking maneuvers easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
