"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)

If, after automatic engine restarting, the driver does
not carry out any action on the car for an extended
period (about 3 minutes), the Start&Stop system
stops the engine definitively, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.

Note In any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.

IRREGULAR OPERATION

In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop system is
deactivated. The driver is informed about the fault
through the flashing of the

symbol on the display

(for some versions together with the display of a
message). In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.

CAR INACTIVITY

In the event of car inactivity, special attention must
be paid to the disconnection of the battery power
supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 70
(by pressing button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should never be
disconnected from the pole except if the battery is
replaced.

WARNING

When replacing the battery, always go
to a Fiat Dealership. Replace the battery

with one of the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.

IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP,
wait at least 1 minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.
