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;
❒ windscreen wipers working at maxi-
mum speed;
❒ low braking system vacuum, e.g. fol-
lowing the brake pedal being pressed
repeatedly;
❒ car in motion, for example when dri-
ving on hilly roads;
❒ stopping the engine using Start&Stop
longer than approximately 3 minutes;
❒ for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control system (for
versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort
has not been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
With gear engaged, the automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully pressing
the clutch pedal. This operation is indi-
cated to the driver by means of a message
on the display and by symbol
U blinking
(the latter for versions/markets, where
provided).
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, after 3 minutes
from the engine stopping, the engine can
be restarted only using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this
is not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply with
a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be restarted by
fully depressing the clutch pedal or by plac-
ing the gear lever in neutral
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the
Start&Stop system, if the driver releases
his/her seat belt and opens the driver’s or
passenger’s door, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
This condition is indicated to the driver by
means of a buzzer and by the symbol
U
blinking on the display (with a message, for
versions/markets, where provided).
