FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 78)

❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ heated rear window or heated windscreen
activated (for versions/markets, where available);
❒ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒ particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒ driver's door not shut;
❒ driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒ reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒ for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort has not
been reached yet or with
activation;
❒ during the first period of use for a new car, to
initialise the system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled, for
continuous operation of the climate
control system and avoidance of, for example, the
windows misting up.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, to limit harmful emissions
and for safety purposes, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the driver if
certain conditions occur, including:
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒ reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake
pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒ car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒ engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3
minutes;
❒ for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided), to
enable suitable thermal comfort or with MAX-DEF
activation.
If a gear in engaged during stopping with Start&Stop,
the automatic restarting of the engine is only
permitted by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by a message on the display
and - for versions/markets, where provided - by
the flashing of the
symbol.
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only using
the ignition key.
In cases of undesired engine stops, due for example
to the clutch pedal being released abruptly with a
gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated,
the engine can be restarted by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
