START&STOP EVO
The Start&Stop Evo system
automatically stops the engine each time
the car is stationary and starts it again
when the driver wants to start off again.
In this way, the car efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
WARNING When the Start&Stop Evo
system stops the engine, the power
steering is also disabled.
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 Automatic stopping of the engine
is not enabled until the car has exceeded
a speed of about 6.2 mph (10 km/h).
After an automatic restart, to stop the
04026S0957EM
engine you only need to move the vehicle
(exceed a speed of 0.3 mph / 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 brake pedal pressed, if the gear
lever is in automatic D (Drive) mode, the
engine can be restarted by moving the
lever to R (Reverse) or "AutoStick".
If the gear lever is in "AutoStick" mode,
the engine can be restarted by moving
the lever to + or -.
