START & STOP EVO
The Stop/Start Evo 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 vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres 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).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run
at about 10 km/h.
After an automatic restart, to stop the
engine you only need to move the vehicle
(exceed a speed of 0.5 km/h).
Engine stopping is signalled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
panel display.
Restarting the engine
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal or, for versions/markets where
provided, turn the steering wheel slightly.
With the brake pressed and the
transmission in automatic mode D
(Drive), the engine will restart by shifting
to R (Reverse gear), for petrol engine
versions only, to "AutoStick".
With brake pressed, also for versions
with petrol engines, if the gear lever is
in "AutoStick" mode, the engine can be
restarted by moving the lever to + or -.
