START&STOP SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is increased, by
reducing consumption, emissions of harmful gases
and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox
in neutral and clutch pedal released.
Note The engine can only be stopped automatically
after exceeding a speed of about 10 km/h, to prevent
the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The symbol appears on the display when the
engine stops.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
MANUAL SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system manually, press the
fig. 111 button (located on the dashboard control
trim).
Start&Stop system activation
Start&Stop system activation is signalled by a
message on the display. In this condition, the LED on
the button is off.
Start&Stop system deactivation
Versions with multifunction display: a message appears
on the display when the Start&Stop system is
deactivated.
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display: the
symbol and a dedicated message appear on the
display when the Start&Stop system is deactivated.
