Driving and Driver Assistance Systems
Occupants Safety Function
To enhance occupants safety, the
Start&Stop system monitors if the driver
is present and does not allow automatic
restarting of the engine if one of the
following maneuvers is being performed
while in "AutoStop" condition:
• The driver opens the door and releases
the brake pedal.
• The driver opens the door and
unbuckles the seat belt.
• The driver opens the hood.
All the above-mentioned conditions
deactivate the Start&Stop function (the
"AutoStart" is deactivated and the
engine remains off) and the transmission
5
shift automatically in P (Park) mode.
The telltale will be disabled to
indicate the Start&Stop function
disabling. To restart the engine it is
necessary to press the brake pedal and
push the START/STOP button or shift
into gear.
Push the D (Drive) button to drive away.
WARNING!
Even when the vehicle is stopped within
the "Stop (AutoStop)" phase, the vehicle
driver is responsible for the vehicle, the
vehicle's occupants and the vehicle's
surrounding area. Never leave the
198
vehicle unattended with the engine
running; doing so poses a risk of danger.
It is a good practice to always ensure
to set the parking brake and shift the
transmission into the P (Park) mode,
thereby ensuring the vehicle will not
move, when performing any vehicle
checks, maintenance and/or service
procedures on the vehicle.
Start&Stop Function Disabling
Start&Stop enabled is the default status.
Under certain driving conditions, when
frequent stops and restarts of the engine
may become annoying, it is possible to
turn off the Start&Stop function.
When the Start&Stop function is turned
off in the all following ways, the white
indicator on the cluster display
indicated in the picture will turn on.
Touch the OFF on the bottom bar
of the screen of the Comfort Display.
Touch a second time the same soft-key
to re-enable the function
NOTE:
The highlighted and yellow soft-key
indicates the disabled status of
Start&Stop system and vice versa.
If the driving conditions allow it, the user
can re-enable the Start&Stop function at
any time.
