IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the car is switched off and the key is
in the OFF position. Follow the instructions on the
plate near the front crossmember fig. 124a. It is
advisable to extract the key when there are oth-
er people in the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed or
turned to the OFF position. During refuelling op-
erations, it is necessary to make sure that the car
is off with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised transmission, if
the engine cuts out automatically on a
gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with Dua-
logic transmission, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out automatically
whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it by mov-
ing the gear lever towards (+) or towards (-) with-
out releasing the brake pedal to make the Hill
Holder function – which is active only when the
engine is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.
