FIAT 500L - Manual (Page 116)

The LED above the button is on when the system
is deactivated.
ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is operating, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine does
not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒ engine still cold;
❒ especially cold outside temperature;
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ 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 or with MAX-DEF mode active;
❒ during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled, for
a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ 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), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort has not
been reached or with MAX-DEF mode active.
With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The
operation is signalled to the driver with a message
shown on the display.
Notes
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 unwanted engine stop, due for example to
the clutch pedal being released sharply with a gear
engaged, if the Start&Stop system is active, the
engine can be restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in neutral.
